Two New Metrics for Evaluating the Routing Advertisement Triggers

The existing metrics to evaluate the advertisement triggers could not judge the trigger's impact on the routing bandwidth requirement. To solve this problem we introduce two new metrics, i.e. average routing update overhead (ARUO) and maximum routing update overhead (MRUO). We re-evaluate the existing triggers using not only blocking probability but also ARUO and MRUO.
