Function	FilterResult_t processPacket(uint16_t neighbourAddress, uint8_t ownerID, uint8_t length, void*packet)
Parameters	uint16_t neighbourAddress	Mac address of the neighbour
	uint8_t ownerID	Owner of the packet. This can be a MAC protocol or a higher layer module. A protocol has to add collectors, aggregators and filters for its specific ownerID in order to process packets
	uint8_t length	Length of the packet pointer
	void* packet	Pointer to the packet or a part of the packet. Because a packet is only processed by specific owners, the packet formatting is always known in advance
Return	FilterResult_t	Returns the result of the filters executed for the ownerID. If no filters are executed, the result will be SUCCESS
