“…These modified gossiping protocols have typically been evaluated in comparison with the conventional gossiping protocol or other modified gossiping protocols using various metrics. The energy consumption has been most commonly utilised to assess the performance of a proposed protocols against the performances of other protocols in a fixed-size network (100 nodes) [ 19 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 28 , 29 , 30 ], followed by the hop count [ 22 , 23 , 28 , 29 , 30 ], the number of live nodes [ 19 , 24 , 28 , 29 , 30 ], the packet loss [ 19 , 21 , 22 , 23 ], and the network lifetime [ 22 , 23 , 25 ]. The results of these works reflect the positive impact of utilising adjusted parameters and computations to enhance the performance of the original gossiping protocol.…”
