Container for packets in transit from Link.node1 to Link.node2.
We never check whether this array overflows, because we
hope there will be never more than 100 packets in flight on a link?!?
When this method is called, it is a signal to the router
to transmit packets on their corresponding outgoing links,
if there are any packets buffered in the router memory.
Only the caller knows when sufficient amount of time has elapsed
and when it should call this method.
