/**
 * This class models a packet of data that is to be sent across the network
 * using a connectionless protocol such as UDP.  It contains the data
 * to be send, as well as the destination address and port.  Note that
 * datagram packets can arrive in any order and are not guaranteed to be
 * delivered at all.
 * <p>
 * This class can also be used for receiving data from the network.
 * <p>
 * Note that for all method below where the buffer length passed by the
 * caller cannot exceed the actually length of the byte array passed as
 * the buffer, if this condition is not true, then the method silently
 * reduces the length value to maximum allowable value.
