  - handlePacket
```
 abstract boolean handlePacket(T pkt)
```
    Does something with a packet.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pkt - the packet to do something with.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the operation was successful, and false otherwise.
  - maxSequentiallyProcessedPackets
```
 long maxSequentiallyProcessedPackets()
```
    Specifies the number of packets allowed to be processed sequentially without yielding control to executor's thread. Specifying positive number will allow other possible queues sharing same ExecutorService to process their packets.
    
    Returns:
    
    positive value to specify max number of packets which allows implementation of cooperative multi-tasking between different PacketQueue sharing same ExecutorService.
