A packet is divided in two parts:
1- Header. This is used to route the packet across the Internet, and another

2- Payload. This is the content of the packet, the information that you send
or receive.
Example:
In traditional mail, Header may be the letter and payload the content of the
letter.
Actually you would think of it as:
Header = envelope (with recipient address, sender address, and
handling instructions)
Payload = letter inside of envelope
So, in this case, if you wanted to test a network device with
different data (usually
for testing network firewalls/IDS/IPS/anti-virus) you would put the
data you wanted
to test with, into a file and reference that in the "Payload File" option.
