Scoring

At the moment, SpectrumWars doesn’t use a single scoring function. Players may be ranked by different criteria, depending on a specific competition. Game controller currently records the following statistics for each player in a game:

Packet loss

Packet loss is defined as:

_    Ntx - Nrx
PL = ---------
        Ntx

Where Ntx is the total number of packets transmitted by the player’s source during the game and Nrx is the total number of packets received by the player’s destination during the game.

Note that packets with control data in the direction from the destination to the source do not count.

Throughput

Throughput is defined as:

_     Prx    bytes
TP = ----- [ ----- ]
       T       s

Where Prx is the total amount of payload data received by the player’s destination in bytes and T is the duration of the game in seconds.
