o Throughput: The ratio of the data packets delivered to the dest<strong>in</strong>ations to<br />

those generated by the sources [31].<br />

o Normalized rout<strong>in</strong>g load: The number of rout<strong>in</strong>g packets “transmitted”<br />

per data packet “delivered” at the dest<strong>in</strong>ation [31]<br />

3.2.5 SIMULATION METRICS<br />

Simulation metrics are listed <strong>in</strong> Table 3.2.5.1<br />

ID Metrics Def<strong>in</strong>ition Formula<br />

PS Packet sent total number of packets Computed from trace file<br />

sent by the source node<br />

PR Packet Received Total number of packets Computed from trace file<br />

Received by the<br />

Dest<strong>in</strong>ation node<br />

PDR Packet delivery Ratio Percentage of Throughput PDR= (PR/PS)*100%<br />

RF <strong>Rout<strong>in</strong>g</strong> Packets Number of rout<strong>in</strong>g packets Computed from trace file<br />

sent or forwarded<br />

NRL Normalized Number of rout<strong>in</strong>g packets NRL = RF/PR<br />
