Classification		Protocols	Selection Parameters	Neighbors Selection Strategy	Forwarder Selection Strategy
Reliable Data Forwarding Protocols	Location based	VBF	Distance information	Neighbor Nodes placed inside the vertical pipe from the source node to the sink node. [52]	Node that have a minimum distance inside the vertical pipe to the sink. [52]
Reliable Data Forwarding Protocols	Location based	H-VBF	Distance information	Neighbor Nodes placed inside each forwarder pipeline from itself to the sink. [52]	Node that have minimum distance inside vertical pipelines to the sink. [52]
	Location based	FBR	Distance information	Neighbor Nodes placed inside the cone from the source node to the sink node. [52]	Node that has minimum distance inside the cone to the sink. [52]
	Depth based	DBR	Depth information	Neighbor nodes closer to the water surface. [52]	Neighbor node with the lowest holding time. [52]
		HydroCast	Depth information and link quality (EPA)	Neighbor Nodes that are shallower with a good link quality. [52]	Neighbor node that is the shallowest neighbor with the best link quality (EPA) and lowest holding time. [52]
		VAPR	Depth information, sequence number, hop-count, and the direction of nodes	Neighbor nodes closer to the water surface with hop-count direction. [52]	Neighbor node with the minimum hop-count. [52]
Classification		Protocols	Selection Parameters	Neighbors Selection Strategy	Forwarder Selection Strategy
Prediction based Data Forwarding Protocols	Mobility Model based	MPDF	Link reachability, uplink transmission reliability, and coverage probability	Neighbor Nodes that send a “REPLY” message to the source node. [67]	Neighbor node with a minimum selection cost function. [67]
		Sidewinder	Distance information, and angle information	Neighbor Nodes that are placed inside the 60◦ forwarding zone facing the sink. [68]	Neighbor node with a minimum back-off timer. [68]
		STE	Distance information and residual energy	Neighbor Nodes selection in terms of both time and space dimensions. [69]	Neighbor node with the highest residual energy [69]
		H2-DAB	Address information	Neighbor Nodes that send a “REPLY” message to the source node. [6]	Neighbor nodes that have lower HopID. [6]
		MPODF	Distance information and residual energy	Neighbor Nodes that will remain moving within the communication range of a sender node during data transmission	Neighbor node with the highest residual energy
	Filter based	QDTR	Contact information	Neighbor Nodes that are placed inside the transmission range of the source node. [71]	Neighbor node with higher reward function. [71]
	Filter based	OFAIM	Contact information	Neighbor Nodes that received notification messages including a quintuple value from the source node. [72]	Neighbor node with the largest contacting probability and that received notification messages from the destination. [72]
