+This suggests that the relative performances of the different strategies are not
+influenced by the characteristics of the physical platform. The differences in
+the convergence times can be explained by the fact that on the grid platforms,
+distant sites are interconnected by links of smaller bandwith.
+
+Therefore, in the following, we'll only discuss the results for the grid
+platforms. The different results are presented on the
+figures~\ref{fig.results1} and~\ref{fig.resultsN}.
