Interesting. Thanks to all of you for compiling this data. Axel, could we have a histogram of the distribution of protocol packet sizes?
A few comments, after staring at it for just a few minutes: (1) I'm impressed by the good results of BMX6. Axel, is there a detailed description of the protocol? (2) No loops in Babel and BMX6, as expected. Some loops in BATMAN, which I don't understand. Moderate number of loops in OLSR, as expected. No data for BATMAN-adv. (3) The issue with Babel having high protocol overhead in marginal networks is still present, as expected. This is due to Babel sending a bunch of explicit requests whenever it loses a route (Section 3.8.2.1 of RFC 6126); I'm considering a fix that would consist in rate-limiting the requests, but I need to get the details right. (4) Surprisingly low protocol overhead for OLSR. Counter-intuitively enough, OLSR's strategy which consist in having no adaptative intervals at all appears to pay off in this particular case. (5) Although Babel was being run with a higher hello interval, its performance in the mobility scenarios was as good or better than that of the other protocols. --Juliusz _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
