| 3 | A single sender broadcast (ethernet broadcast) a 512B packet to 238 receivers running tcpdump. The wired interface '''eth1''' was used on all senders and receivers. The number of packets sent and the time between two consecutive packets was varied at the sender. |

| 10 | * the time taken to receive all packets |
| 11 | on each receiving node. |
