Given abstractness of the protocol, it is not really possible (different applications, orders of magnitude different timers; we see that already in use). However, we added applicability (statement) subsection to the introduction in which we provide some math about what sort of applications DNCP is suitable for which covers this I believe.

As all figures we have are in their own individual sub-sections that are essentially caption/title for the related figure as well, the authors chose not to.

Is there some reason (e.g. a tool?) that would benefit from this?
