Thanks Greg,

How about the Authenticated mode packet? should the session start as unauthenticated first?

Thx

> When using STAMP extensions, STAMP Session-Sender must use the basic STAMP test packet followed by a TLV. A STAMP Session-Reflector is expected to compare the value in the Length field of the UDP header with the length of the basic STAMP test packet (44 octets). If the difference is larger than the length of the UDP header, then the Session-Reflector should process STAMP TLVs following the basic STAMP test packet.

While reading Section 3.1.3 I came to think that the discussion and guidance in other sections of RFC 8085, particularly, Section 3.1.5 Implications of RTT and Loss Measurements on Congestion Control. Would adding the reference to that section in the new text proposed for the Security Considerations section work? I'll put RFC 8085 as Informational reference as it is BCP.

It recommends to send not more than 1 packet per 3 seconds (if RTT is unknown). I guess it doesn’t make sense to require this for testing traffic, however, it could maybe still be a good recommendation? What do you think?

OWAMP and TWAMP discuss quite a bit sender scheduling, however, as this is a simplified version, so I think it could at least be good to put a waring in this document that packet sending should be somehow rate limited. I know it might be hard to provide more concrete guidance but at least having some discussion or warning in this document could be good.
