What "packet" are you talking about here? TCP is a stream built from many
separate IP packets.

libcurl doesn't really provide packets, it sends protocol (payload) data to
the application.

Is there anything in the CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION description that is unclear?

   The callback function will be passed as much data as possible in all
   invokes, but you must not make any assumptions. It may be one byte, it may
   be thousands. The maximum amount of body data that will be passed to the
   write callback is defined in the curl.h header file: CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE
