Re: [bmwg] Martin Duke's No Objection on draft-ietf-bmwg-ngfw-performance-13: (with COMMENT)

[Carsten Rossenhoevel <[e-mail]>]

Martin,

Here is a response to your second comment.  The authors have discussed 
the Delayed ACK statement once more.  In general, it would be possible 
to specify the limit in time in addition.  A typical value would be 200 
ms (Windows OS default).  However, it is unclear to us if such a limit 
would cover any corner cases and whether it would generally reduce 
confusion instead of increasing it (problems with inclusive vs. 
exclusive "or" in normative statements).

If you would still like us to add a delayed ack limit in time, could you 
please suggest specific text that - given your experience with IETF 
documents - would be consistent and represent the normative statements 
correctly?

Apologies, it is not my plan to delegate our work to you :), but we are 
really unsure how to formulate this precisely.

Thank you, Carsten
