Would this be bad practice? Create an entity with 1 component every time a packet is received and then have a system deserializing the packets and processing them?
#Using entities for network packets?

I don't know why you would do that but why not just use a dynamic buffer then?

well I haven't looked too much into ecs filtering but my thought was is have a seperate component for each packet type. Then I can filter incoming packets by the ones I am wanting to deal with easily without having a seperate dynamic buffer for each type of packet.
This would make the code clean, laid out in the memory efficiently and let me use threaded systems to process the packets

Is this using Netcode for entities? Or Unity Transport directly? I wouldn't think you would be receiving that many packets for this to make much difference.
