Detailed Description

An abstract base class to support the mechanisms designed to handle ghost packets.

The data members of a packet were extracted out of Packet into RealPacketDataMembers in order to implement ghost packets; real packets have a pointer to a RealPacketDataMembers object that encapsulates their actual data, whereas ghost packets have a pointer to a GhostPacketDataMembers object that encapsulates pointers to other packets.
