Evaluation Criteria
nPacket Delivery Ratio: The ratio of the number of packets actually delivered to the destinations versus the number of data packets supposed to be received
nNumber of data packets transmitted per data packet delivered: includes retransmissions and dropped packets
nNumber of control packets transmitted per data packet delivered: routing protocol overhead, normalized by user traffic (protocols are on-demand)
nNumber of control packets and data packets transmitted per data packet delivered: This measure tries to capture a protocol’s channel access efficiency, as the cost of channel access is high in contention-based link layers
