Remarks

Most packets have a static structure of fields that is the same for all packet instances. But some packets are dynamic in that the number and type of fields can vary across different packet instances. A great example of this is EventMetricDefinitionPacket. Each event metric has a different set of fields. So, in terms of caching PacketDefinition objects, each instance can be thought of as a dynamic type. On the other hand, only a single PacketFactory need be registered that should be invoked for all dynamic packets of that base type.
