Simplicity

May
be more efficient than other protocols when rate of
|
|
|
information
transmission is low enough that the overhead
|
|
of
explicit route discovery/maintenance incurred by other
|
|
protocols
is relatively higher
|
|
|
|
– |
this
scenario may occur, for instance, when nodes transmit small
|
|
|
data packets relatively infrequently, and many topology changes
|
|
|
occur between consecutive packet transmissions
|
|
|
| n |
Potentially
higher reliability of data delivery
|
|
|
|
– |
Because
packets may be delivered to the destination on multiple
|
|
|
paths
