The number of
link breaks: measurement for the metric is simple for routing protocols that maintain routing table, because it can be calculated
by comparing node degree at time interval. The upper
graphs are examples that showing the node degree
that three nodes monitored at different simulation time with different mobility, For routing protocol such as DSR, which does not maintain
the routing table, still can estimate the metric by
monitoring the node degree in its routing cash. The left
graph is an example by comparison the real node degree with the from the its route cache.
