we do not have room here to fully specify each scenario, they are presented in detail in LT Mauldin’s master’s thesis [@mauldin:2017:CAO].

Table \[tab:HelEpdPerfDiff\] shows that ’s Epidemic returns lower , higher average latency, and lower message replication overhead. Both simulators show that Epidemic’s increases as buffer size increases. Link layer overhead and control packets reduce available bandwidth to share messages. The does not include the time or bandwidth consumed by control packets, so the version increases message replication because nodes have more time to share messages. ’s increased sensitivity to transmission speed and higher latency highlights the impact of the added overhead.

In and the , Epidemic’s and average latency increase asymptotically with buffer size. Epidemic’s average hop count increases from the 5 to 10 buffer, but Epidemic shows minimal change in average hop count for larger message buffers in both simulators. Message replication overhead in the and follow the same trend. Larger message buffers return minimal change in message replication overhead.

While both versions of Epidemic share trends, consistently returns lower , higher average latency, and lower message replication overhead. To illustrate this observation, Table \[tab:BAEpdPerfDiff\] contains the percent difference between and the
