This leads to a two step forwarding procedure. Firstly, in line forwarding mode data packets are sent to a target area and in a second step the data packets are distributed inside the target area (area forwarding mode). This contribution introduces methods of stochastic analysis to estimate the performance of these two forwarding phases.enText/Conference Paper1617-5468
