I understand that, and I think it's a great line of research.  I'm only
suggesting that you should use a more mellow formulation than "an
alternative to WiFi Ad Hoc".

> 90% of the flooding performances of what WiFi ad hoc would provide

I'm probably just being slow, but once again: what is your measure of
"flooding performance"?  I cannot find it defined in either the paper or
your previous mail.

Also, the paper claims 70% and 20% if I read the graphs right, so where
are the 90% and 10% figures coming from?

Ah, I see.  That sucks.
