  packet
       
          The unit of data sent across a network.  "Packet" is a
          generic term used to describe a unit of data at any layer of
          the OSI protocol stack, but it is most correctly used to
          describe application layer data units ("{application
          protocol data unit", APDU).
       
          See also datagram, frame.
