Further Customization
Several routing protocols get additional parameters that further control the routing behavior. For example the Delegation Forwarding protocol can be combined with a diverse range of utility metrics (LTS, ENC etc.). The following table lists all routing protocols included in Adyton that can be further customized.

Adyton supports per protocol parameterization through the -PROFILE option. Similar to the basic parameterization, the -PROFILE option is given at the command line after the Adyton executable.
$ ./Adyton -PROFILE <path_to_a_text_file>
The -PROFILE option is always associated with an argument ("path_to_a_text_file") pointing to a simple text file. This text file contains the required additional parameters in a two column format representation. The first column describes the parameter’s ID, while the second column contains the corresponding parameter's value. The two columns must be separated using a tab or a space delimiter.
