Conclusions:
Broadcast Protocols Competitive
n Broadcast protocols work well. BCAST and FLOOD are
almost always as good as or better than other protocols,
though sometimes impose higher packet latency.
n Protocol overhead lower/competitive with best multicast
protocol
n For a single multicast sender, FLOOD is the obvious
choice, for increasing number of multicast senders BCAST
has the edge over FLOOD
n ADMR performs very well in the presence of many
multicast senders, (is optimal choice in two scenarios
under low mobility), with BCAST being runner-up. All
other protocols perform poorly in these scenarios.
n The choice of an optimal multicasting solution is largely
independent of the mobility rate.
