// A packet is an event range (begin entry and number of entries) or    //
// object range (first object and number of objects) in a TTree         //
// (entries) or a directory (objects) in a file.                        //
// Packets are generated taking into account the performance of the     //
// remote machine, the time it took to process a previous packet on     //
// the remote machine, the locality of the database files, etc.         //
//                                                                      //
