Re: [aqm] Comments on draft-ietf-aqm-eval-guidelines-01?

So it means that a correct evaluation MUST takes into account the proportion of data traffic from signalling traffic (pure ACK for instance) otherwise performance measurements might be biaised.

Reading section "12.4 Packet sizes and congestion notification", I'm wondering whether this should also apply to pure ack traffic?
  For this specific section, for the sake of consistency between the IETF documents, we refer to the “draft-ietf-aqm-recommendation“ document [ https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-aqm-recommendation/ ], where it is said:1- in section "4.4 - AQM algorithms SHOULD respond to measured congestion, not application profiles."“Procedures for selecting packets to mark/drop   SHOULD observe the actual or projected time that a packet is in a   queue (bytes at a rate being an analog to time).  When an AQM   algorithm decides whether to drop (or mark) a packet, it is   RECOMMENDED that the size of the particular packet should not be   taken into account [RFC7141]." 2- in section "4.5.  AQM algorithms SHOULD NOT be dependent on specific transport protocol behaviours"“AQM methods should be opaque to the choice of transport and application." IMHO, these two points infer that this would be applied for pure ack traffic as well. If changes need to be done on that aspect, it should be on the “draft-ietf-aqm-recommendation“ document. Whatever happens, the “characterisation guidelines" document should be consistent with the “recommendation document”, and now that you mention this section, I am not sure that a discussion on the packet sizes is needed in the “characterisation guidelines” document.  What do you think ? Kind regards,  Nicolas EL
