Re: [Ospf-wireless-design] OSPF Flooding and Higher Mobility

All,

I ran MDR with 1-connected adjacencies on the 50 node scenario
that Cisco used with radio rage = 200 and velocity = 16.
(Cisco used biconnected adjacencies for MDR, which was not a fair
comparison.)
The results are shown below for three choices of LSAFullness:
0 for Minimum LSAs, 2 for MDR Full LSAs, and 3 for Full LSAs.

The resulting delivery ratios were .834, .839, and .849 for MDR,
compared to .833 for MPRs in the same scenario, so delivery ratios
are comparable.

The resulting UDP forwards were 6265, 6255, and 5487 for MDR,
compared to 10627 for MPRs, so much longer paths were obtained
with MPRs.

The resulting total overheads were 177.59, 257.33, and 500.61
(the last one is for Full LSAs) compared to 457.24 for MPRs.

Although MDR with Full LSAs resulted in more overhead than MPRs,
the other two choices of LSAs performed better than MPRs in
all of the above metrics.  The most notable result is the very
long paths produced by MPRs, which is probably caused by a bug.

The detailed results for MDR are given below.

Another point is that Cisco considered very sparse networks
(e.g., radio range = 100m), which frequently partition.
Such networks necessarily have a very low delivery ratio
(e.g., 38%) due to partitions, so I am not sure how important
such scenarios are to us.
