packet's
Tiny container's contents
Packet's is the possessive form of packet—a small package or bundle.
A packet contains a measured quantity: the packet's contents spilled across the table, check the packet's expiration date.
In computing, a packet is a unit of data transmitted over a network: the packet's header contains routing information.
