Looking for words similar to "lagging" and "ahead of"

In computer networking, assume that I'm waiting for packets which are ordered by sequence number. First I get sequence number 1, and then 2, then 3 …



Assume that I now have 99 packets and I'm waiting for the packet with sequence number 100.
If I get a packet with sequence number 50, since I have received it already, I say
this packet is an obsolete packet or lagging packet. But if I get a packet with sequence number 200, how do I describe it? An advanced packet?
