Despite the existence of several metrics to perform measurements on out-of-order packets, few works have used these metrics for\ncomparative purposes. A potential reason for this is that the use of these simple singleton metrics makes it difficult to analyze all\nthe effects of packet reordering. On the other hand, more complete metrics are represented in a vectorial manner, making\ncomparative analysis challenging. In this paper, we present a scenario for testing and describe a methodology for conducting\nexperiments to compare network paths with respect to unordered packets. The results of several simulations explore simple packet\nreordering metrics derived from vector metric that may allow future work to be benchmarked against. We demonstrated the\nbehaviour of some TCP congestion control algorithms by adjusting different levels of reordering. We highlight good results with\nthe Entropy reorder metric.
