With this assumptions it adds up as you write. I believe we're in
agreement.

It's the same assumption I made below (FIFO everywhere, i.e. no
reordering). So the discussed difference shouldn't really be negative
(and if the assumption didn't hold, so the modular arithmetic yields
corerct bytes_skipped value).
