If we want exact information it seems that the source or dest_nieghbours may
inform the destination of the lost packets sizes if requested by the
destination. The source should be able to list all the sent packets SQ
number with its size index by the packets destinations. The destination
sends to source a request of the sizes of packets (using special packet for
measure).



Or more simple method can be called the size SQ method proposed above, so
the source, path_nodes and destination are counting the packet by possible
categorized of size information/measured. We may have second/third/more
sequence (size_sequence) in three or four as very large, large, medium,
small. Therefore, when the dest size sequence count is different from the
source it will notice the lost and measure the size.
