There are no MAC "packets"; there is a MAC appended to every
higher-layer netsync object. For small objects, that would be
nontrivial overhead.
However, as was discussed when the HMAC went in, SSL stream
authentication sort of solves a different problem from an HMAC on each
netsync entity. It's not clear that one should go away in favor of
the other, at least to me.
