- 20:26, 8 August 2024 diff hist +436 Protocol The term "packet" is ambiguous since it can either refer to an IP Protocol Data Unit (IP PDU/IP Packet), or in more loose terms, any grouping of bytes that is sent over the network. "Message" removes the confusion as it is already established in terms like "reliable message stream"; for example, Minecraft implements a "reliable message stream" over TCP, and TCP itself implements a "reliable byte stream". See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliable_byte_stream
