An assessment of bandwidth efficiency. It is the number of created copies per delivered message. It amounts the number of replicas necessary to perform a successful delivery.
Percentage (%) number
Latency average
Latency average messages delay from creation to delivery.
Seconds
Hop count average
Average number of hops between source and destination.
Number
Buffer time average
Average time that messages stay in the buffer at each node.
Number
Buffer size occupancy
Buffer size occupancy average at each node.
Bytes
RTT average
Round-trip time average. Average time from creation to confirmation of delivery.
Seconds
End-to-end delay
Time taken for a message transmission across a network from source to destination.
Seconds
Throughput
The number of transactions per second an application can handle, the amount of transactions produced over time during a test.
Transactions per second
Link failure
The period of consecutive packet loss that can last for many seconds, followed by a change in delay after the link is reestablished.
Seconds
Transmission opportunity (TOpp)
The ratio between the total amounts of resources that a protocol could have to the actual number of resources used by this protocol. This metric can evaluate the resource consumption such as the number of transmission opportunities, contact time duration, or data transfer in the network.
