 * Child class of GridGenericMetric that implements the bottleneck
 * delivery ratio threshold metric.  The bottleneck delivery ratio of
 * a route is the minimum delivery ratio of all links in the route.
 * Routes with larger bottleneck delivery ratios are preferred to
 * those with smaller.  The metric value is the bottleneck delivery
 * ratio as a percentage 0--100%.
 *
 * LinkStat is this node's LinkStat element, which is needed to obtain
 * the link delivery ratios used to calculate the metric.
