Several simulations were run, each with different host speeds. From these runs, average node velocity versus host velocity data was collected and plotted.

The beginning of the curve shows the linear relationship between host velocity and node velocity. However, the node velocity peaks at around 15 d/t and then drops. This is the point where the resolution of the location sensing system becomes a more serious factor. When the host speed increases, it takes the attached node farther off course in the time that the node needs to sense its trajectory. At some point, the algorithm becomes useless and the nodes attachment/detachment becomes completely random.
