As the piston moves through the shock body the oil passes through holes in the piston. this gives a damping effect.
The effect is smooth and progressive for the most part.
When a certain speed is reached the flow characteristics of the oil passing through the holes change and a much higher rate of damping is the result.
This is called 'Pack'
High speed damping is damping specifically aimed at handling the effects of high speed suspension movement independently from low speed suspension movement.
(or at least that's my understanding of it. please correct me if i am wrong)
