Hey again,
That's pretty interesting! I don't know if we have something like an architecture illustration (but haven't see any recently). If you get anything interesting out of that (illustration, performance insights, etc), please tell us.
I am trying to draw some illustration like the document that I show to you. But I am not sure of the validity of them and there are not finish. I have the first that I show you that is a king of global architecture. I have a Data path which follow the same design of the first. And a third will follow which describe the temporal organization.
I have also a first study which measure the signaling of topology like before with different size (4, 9, 36, 25, 36, 49, 81 nodes). I measure the signaling in bytes by seconds on all the topology.
And all of this work is also done for an other protocol to compare them.
But as I say its to soon to show you something. At this moment, my new way to test is better I think, I want measure the received and sent packets on each node of my topology and not only for all the topology to have a better way to measure the cost of the signaling.
Ah ok. Is it a self-written tool or something public? We usually use vde/wirefilter to build up different topologies, see:

Would be interesting if there are other possibilities :)
Yes this tool is Cloonix : http://clownix.net/. You are lucky, you will not find a lot of documentation but its is in English. This tool use a system of socket to encapsulate the flow. But with this tol you have not a wireless network, only wired network. You can also simulate lost packet during communication.
I am using this tool because I know the creator of the project so it's really convenient for me to use it.
Good luck!
Cheers Simon
Thank you Arthur.
