The document describes modifications made to a queue simulation program to measure the average time packets spend in the system. It is modified to track the arrival and departure time of each packet. When a packet arrives, its arrival time is recorded. When the packet departs, its processing time is calculated as the difference between departure and arrival time. These processing times are summed over all packets to calculate the average time spent in the system. The key code changes involve adding variables to track each packet's arrival and departure times, calculate processing time, and sum times across all packets.
