// Base module for packet aggregation. Collects multiple packets and combines them
// into a single aggregated packet based on a configurable aggregation policy.
// Aggregation improves network efficiency by reducing header overhead when
// transmitting multiple small packets. The module delegates the aggregation
// decision to a policy class or module that determines if a packet can be
// aggregated with the current set.
