The SAORS Beacon Message

SAORS is an opportunistic routing protocol development system and therefore based on a beacon mechanism. Consequently, beacons are the most important component of the system. Beacons are transmitted periodically and contain information such as the social neighbours of a node and other global metrics such as betweenness. The metrics that are contained in the routing entries are transmitted using the BeaconEntries, achieving differentiation between each entry. On the other hand, metrics characterizing the transmitting node itself, are send included dirrectly into the beacon.
