In terms of header, size and payload?
We've been learning about DDOS attacks in class and they've been telling us all of the abstract ideas, but haven't told us what the actual makeup of the packets being sent would look like and I'm curious.

DDoS is devastating because it can use perfectly valid traffic, thereby bypassing defences looking for anomalies. It does it's damage due to the volume alone.
There are DDoS attacks that can take advantage of vulnerabilities, and their packets do have unique characteristics to look for, but that will depend on the vulnerability being exploited, so we cannot tell you what that looks like without knowing which specific DoS exploit you are wondering about.
