We characterize the graphs for which the independence number equals the packing number. As a consequence we obtain simple structural descriptions of the graphs for which (i) the distance-k-packing number equals the distance-2 k-packing number, and (ii) the distance-k-matching number equals the distance-2 k-matching number. This last result considerably simplifies and extends previous results of Cameron and Walker (2005). For positive integers k 1 and k 2 with k 1< k 2 and⌈(3 k 2+ 1)/2⌉≤ 2 k 1+ 1, we prove that it is NP-hard to determine for a given graph whether its distance-k 1-packing number equals its distance-k 2-packing number.
