The DAT (Directional Airtime Metric) does not have an explicit range
like ETX... it is defined in "seconds per bit" (and converted into
bits/s for readability).

The metric with its current encoding can go from 2 Gbit/s to 128 bit/s.

There is no good way to say "this is the best one" because it depends
on your network technology.
