Re: [quicwg/base-drafts] Remove ack_delay_exponent TP (#2670)

[Martin Thomson <[e-mail]>]

So I'm seeing a few concerns highlighted here:

1. Some people would like to keep the delay encoding small (Ian); others don't care if it is bigger (Christian).
2. Native time is often in milliseconds.  Having to encoding microseconds with an exponent gets close (2^10 =~ 10^3), but it's not great (Kazuho).

The strength of feeling isn't strong, but my impression is that we have three options.

a. Use an exponent (leave as-is).
b. Move to multiplication instead of exponentiation.
c. Drop any scaling factor and encode the value directly.

As I mentioned before, there seems to be slightly more interest in option b, but it's not a strong one.

Of those who don't seem to like option b, Christian seems to prefer c and a over b and Ian seems happy with a.

Is that a fair assessment?
