Hi Farhan,
We have the ability to record details about a network connection in STIX 2.0 and 2.1, but nothing specifically about a network packet. If you are wanting to send the network packet described in a network connection Object, I would recommend using the Artifact object to embed the network packet itself into.
There are no current plans to add a dedicated Network Packet object. There has been no requests for this at all that I'm aware of in all the time we've been working on STIX 2.x series (circa 2.5 years). We made a conscious decision to only move the objects that were being actively used across from STIX 1.x series to the STIX 2.x series, and unfortunately that didn't make the cut.
The great thing about STIX 2.x, is that you can add your own custom objects and custom extensions if you want for the use cases you have, and only use them in your own environment/trustgroup. So you could create your own Network Packet object if you wanted, but there is unfortunately no guarantee that software processing this will pass through the custom objects. (Maybe that's something we need to fix in STIX 2.1).
Hope that helps.
Cheers
