Compare SDN Mininet results to traditional network results

My topic is: Comparative performance analysis of SDN-based network and traditional network. So I decided to use mininet and already know how to perform some tests. However, I am wondering what tests would be better to choose (throughput, jitter, packet delivery ratio, latency, end packet delay, etc.) and how/where actually I can do tests for traditional network? NS2? What would be you suggestions? Maybe any useful links/tutorials?

Many thanks,
