Pipelining is buffering multiple commands into one network packet, otherwise each command is a separate packet.

Not necessarily. The relationship to packets is pretty thin. Pipeline mode just avoids the wait after each command before beginning the next, the same thing SMTP can do.

Well, not necessarily a single packet depending on the amount of data, but one send+receive operation versus one for every command.
