The authors propose a taxonomy and universal evaluation framework to assess opportunistic routing algorithms. They classify existing routing solutions and identify common performance metrics like delivery probability, cost, and delay. An evaluation of Epidemic, PROPHET, and BubbleRap routing under different mobility models shows that Epidemic and PROPHET have higher delivery rates but also greater costs and delays than BubbleRap. The proposed taxonomy and evaluation framework aim to provide a fair and standardized way to compare opportunistic routing algorithms.

4. Motivation
• Many routing solutions
- Epidemic, encounter history, social aspects ...
• Different classifications
- Identify different families
- Application requirements to algorithm mapping
• Different performance metrics and experimental
setups

5. Goal
• Clear classification of solutions
• Fair way to assess routing performance
- Importance of a homogeneous evaluation
- Parameter setups and performance
metrics can favour some proposals

17. Conclusions and
Future Work
• For fair assessment
- Imperative to consider similar conditions
- Same performance metrics
• Both taxonomy and UEF should be
updated to comply with future new trends
