“…Among papers that experimentally assess the performance of proactive MANET routing protocols, the most common evaluative metric was throughput, typically TCP throughput [2,4,7,9,12,13,16]. Other popular metrics were packet delivery or loss rates [1,3,7,10,13,20], "ping" success rates [4,20], latency [1,9,10], overhead [3,10,13], and average hop count [10].…”
