The second rulegoverns that the monitor node waits and detects the packet that was already forwarded along thepath to the sink. It verifies the two-hop neighbor knowledge to assess whether the destinationnode is on the right path to the sink.

Due to availability of high speed computing system such studies are becomingcommon in almost every field of study, such as health, environment, geology, engineering, andmany others. Besides visual perception of the spatial distribution of the phenomenon, the analysisis useful to translate the existing patterns in to objective and measureable quantities by estimatingparameters at an unknown location.
