Data capsule. Data capsules simply forward themselves to their destination. Each DataCapsule contains source and destination application ports (in addition to the source and destination node addresses kept by the superclass). Also, an arbitrary ByteArray payload is attached to the capsule.

XXX This doesn't need to be a builtin capsule type. Its convenient and all, but its not critical. Move it out to the apps/ directory. (Well, the fact that its builtin means the ID is fixed, so this is handy in a backwards-compatiblity way.)

   public static final String VERSION

WARNING: this is a builtin capsule, whose version number must be manually kept in synch with its functionality.

   private static final byte[] MID

   private static final byte[] PID

   public short spt

Source application's port.

Not used by the DataCapsule, but its assumed that most users of this type will want to know where the capsule came from.

   public short dpt

Destination application's port.

   private ByteArray data

Data payload this capsule pulls through the network.

                      int n, 
                      ByteArray p) 

Construct a new DataCapsule.

Parameter	Description
s	the source application's port
d	the destination application's port
n	the address of the destination node.
p	the payload.
