RE: [bmwg] Meeting Minutes Review: IPsec Terminology

fwiw
it is my opinion that doing a perfomance test of a stream of
a mix of packet sizes is almost useless - very small changes in
the mix can produce large changes in the result and any time that
small changes in conditions can produce large changes in output
you get a test that is quite hard to 1/ repeate and 2/ find any meaning in

This is someting that the WG has talked about from time to time, starting
in Vancover a long time ago, and always decided that such a test was
not one that would produce clear enough information to be meaningful 
to do.

I think it is far more important to test multiple sizes one after the other

I can think of one build-to-be-tested case that could be overcome 
by a mix of sizes and that is an auto tuning of buffer sizes based
on packet size but that hardly seems worth dealing with.
