Raimar, you seem to be making a lot of changes to the packet handling code. It
might be better to plan out exactly what information the CMA needs instead of 
adding packets as you suddenly decide you need them.

It seems odd that no one has tried to use compression with the packet code
before. I suspect that with the CMA code it would pay some dividends. What do
you think?
