1. A network node comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the network node to:
receive a first data packet comprising a packet modification specification and a payload;
determine to reduce a size of the first data packet based on one or more network conditions occurring;
drop a portion of the payload of the first data packet based on the packet modification specification to generate a modified data packet, wherein the packet modification specification assigns attributes to a plurality of data payload portions of the payload of the first data packet; and
forward the modified data packet along a network path towards a destination node.
