Overall view on sent messages

The view will appear when the third checkbox on the Animation Control window is checked.

Figure 10: Overall view on sent messages of experiment Broadcast with ACK

The view counts for each process the number of messages sent. Moreover it shows the average number of messages which are sent by a process. Although the message size is constant, the message size is displayed below every process as well.

For broadcast with ACK algorithm it is easy to observe that the number of messages sent is proportional to the degree of a node. Hence, an initialization of this view, assuming that for each process the message size is bounded by $2\delta$ messages, where $\delta$ denotes the degree of the communication graph, will guarantee an optimum scale for this view.
