[Not sure if I need to say that my comments are with my IPPM co-chair
hat off, but if yes, I'm saying it :-) ]

Ann Cerveny and I are sending more detailed comments and suggestions
(mostly grammatical) directly to the authors, but my most significant
comments on the draft are:

1) For "One-way Loss, ADK Sample Comparison", there is a sentence that
starts, "The common parameters used for tests in this section are:", but
no parameters follow.
2) In some of the examples, "public" IP addresses are used (as far as I
can tell). Should these addresses be published in an RFC?
3) I think the paragraph beginning with "There is consensus ..." might
need some clarification.
4) I thought the formatting of the IF AND THEN statements for the text
in section 2 was a little unusual.
5) I would clarify what "Imp" in figure 1 refers to although I figured
out (I think) that it refers to "implementation".
