Re: [bmwg] Document Action: 'IMIX Genome: Specification of variable packet sizes for additional testing' to Informational RFC (draft-ietf-bmwg-imix-genome-04.txt)

Hey Joel,  we agreed to several changes that have only appeared in 
a preliminary version (the diffs I sent to Benoit in reply to comments).

I need to upload the revised version ASAP, I suppose...

> Technical Summary
> 
>    Benchmarking Methodologies have always relied on test conditions with
>    constant packet sizes, with the goal of understanding what network
>    device capability has been tested.  Tests with constant packet size
>    reveal device capabilities but differ significantly from the
>    conditions encountered in operational deployment, and so additional
>    tests are sometimes conducted with a mixture of packet sizes, or
>    "IMIX".  The mixture of sizes a networking device will encounter is
>    highly variable and depends on many factors.  An IMIX suited for one
>    networking device and deployment will not be appropriate for another.
>    However, the mix of sizes may be known and the tester may be asked to
>    augment the fixed size tests.  To address this need, and the
>    perpetual goal of specifying repeatable test conditions, this draft
>    defines a way to specify the exact repeating sequence of packet sizes
>    from the usual set of fixed sizes, and other forms of mixed size
> 
> Working Group Summary
> 
> WG Consensus was smooth after development over a reasonable period of
> time.

> Document Quality
> 
> There are many implementations of various test equipment that use IMIX.
