I have the same doubt as Min: Shouldn't router 5 be considered as an originator, not a forwarder? Otherwise printing out "data-packets-originated" in stage 6 will be meaningless, i.e. there will be no "data packets originated" but only ones that are forwarded. Unless "forwared data packets" in stage 6 has a different "definition" in stage 7??

Please clarify!
Thanks
