The abstraction of Packet have a (unused) pointer to a possible payload (APPDATA). You may allocate memory and put the real data structure there. I suggest you use a header variable in the packet (you must create a new packet type for this) to bring the pointer to the real data payload), or something like that. So the packet will "carry" the payload with it.
