Code Review

This PR adds documentation for two new internal session variables, InPacketBytes and OutPacketBytes. The documentation is minimal. I've suggested improvements to make it more consistent with the rest of the document by adding properties like Scope and Type, and improving the description.

A note on style: the variable names InPacketBytes and OutPacketBytes use PascalCase, which is inconsistent with the snake_case convention used for all other system variables in this file. While this might be the actual variable names in the code, it's worth noting this inconsistency for future reference.
