Considering that you sent some packets (and none of them was received), you can compute the routing overhead of any algorithm by counting the control packets of the trace (filter for RTR and/or something related to the control packet, such as RREQ and RREP).
Note that a routing algorithm can have a parameter to stop the flooding, i.e., control packets are not retransmitted after that (e.g., AOMDV sets the network diameter to 30). Hope this helps.
