Re: [bmwg] I-D Action: draft-ietf-bmwg-ipv6-tran-tech-benchmarking-02.txt

Hello BMWG Members,

Thank you for your support and feedback so far.
Please find below an overview of the changelog for draft-ietf-bmwg-ipv6-tran-tech-benchmarking-02

*following Fred Baker, Tim Chown and Scott Bradner's comments
	+ added mixed traffic conditions in Section 5.3
	+ added Section 11 for NAT44, NAT66
	+ mentioned the incremental scalability 1st test duration should  be at least 60 sec
*following Al Morton’s comment
	+ added RFC2330 as reference for median/percentiles
*following Jacon Rapp’s comment
	+ added a MAY for histograms as a fine grain report option 
*considering the lack of support for DNS46 in DNSOP and BMWG (and IETF in general) we decided not to  include it in this document.
*various editorial changes and improvements 

**Still to cover
*following Jacob Rapp’s comments
	- a recommendation for where to include the tag in the frame for measuring latency
	The rough idea is to include the identification tag as part of the UDP payload (as a sort of UDP sequence number). 
	This solution is used by one of the traffic generators we tested (D-ITG). 
	However, we would like to confirm with more empirical testing and possibly work towards a v6transperf implementation.
	Rough consensus and running code ! :)

Best regards,
The authors
