A "packet" is a communication unit, constructed in such a way that layers
for each protocol used for a particular connection are wrapped around, like
the layers of skin on an onion. In your case, the connection is TCP/IP. Your
computer is receiving and trasmitting packets over your connection - there's
nothing wrong with that.
