Incorrect term usage (s/packet(s)/message(s))?

It is not technically correct to say "JSTP packets" since packets are the PDUs of layer 3 protocols. Layer 5 protocols don't have a standardized concept of PDU (and what they transfer is simply referred to as data) but in practice their data units are commonly called messages.

Yes, I agree with that, we should change this misuse of terms.

Completely agree on this one, with this metarhia/jstp-java@8671892 java version uses 'message' throughout its codebase.
