In this paper, a review of the main simulation parameters utilized to evaluate the performance of
cooperative caching schemes in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks is presented. Firstly, a taxonomy of twenty five
caching schemes proposed in the literature about Mobile Ad Hoc Networks is defined. Those caching schemes
are briefly described in order to illustrate their basis and fundamentals. The review takes into consideration the
utilized network simulator, the wireless connection standard, the propagation model and routing protocol, the
employed simulation area and number of data servers, the number of mobile devices and their coverage area, the
mobility model, the number of documents in the network, the replacement policy and cache size, the mean time
between requests, the document popularity distribution, the TTL (Time To Live) of the documents and the
simulation time. Those simulation parameters have been compared among the evaluation of the studied
cooperative caching schemes in order to obtain the most common utilized values. This work will allow to compare
the performance of the proposed cooperative caching schemes using a common simulation environment.
