Egress firewall filters affect the flow of data packets that are transmitted from the switch's interfaces but do not affect the flow of locally generated control packets from the Routing Engine. (Juniper Network)

This one-period delay is further guaranteed by well designed compensation for control packet dropout. (Queensland University of Technology)

The performance of MDSR has been compared with that of the basic DSR for different network densities and for different mobility of nodes. Simulation results show that MDSR gives fewer control packets, less latency and a higher packet delivery ratio than DSR. (Wiley InterScience)
