Hi Rene, The results for these 1,000 experiments (with each experiment using 10,000 allocations as described in the original note) is a ratio of the address consumption using HD Ratio to that of a flat 80% is 1.4585421463303 with a Mean Standard Deviation = 0.0337090355213951 regards, Geoff At 12:43 PM 23/02/2006, Rene Wilhelm wrote:
This experiment has been repeated 1,000 times in order to determine a stable average value for the relative increase in address consumption corresponding to a change in the address allocation policies from uniform 80% to an HD Ratio of 0.96, assuming constant demand for addresses.
To get a feeling of how stable your average is, could you indicate what the variation, the standard deviation in these 1,000 repeats is? i.e. did all 1000 give you a number close to 46% or were they spread out a lot?
