The sentence will be revised to indicate that the 3rd level headings
describe specific experiments and the parameters are listed there,
so no information is missing from the test plan.

We included the addresses in section 3 of http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6808
with no problems through to publication.

IOW, this is an examination of results collected according to metric
definitions in IPPM RFCs, rather than a comparison of system A vs. B.
I'll see what can be done to clarify.

The whole point is to turn attention to the improvements of the RFC text
if necessary (again, not A vs. B). We haven't found a need to clarify 
anything fundamental in either 2679 or 2680 testing.
