Well, flent can generate a similar level of detail under a generated
load. Some of kathie's work can now do it against tcp on pcaps.

Was yours against general traffic?

Good set of slides. Analysis is picking up...

Where you and I always tend to fall off a cliff is on your conclusions
as to what to do about it, e.g. slide 19. I'd rather love it if you
repeated your tests and graphs against pie, and fq_codel, and/or cake.

For that matter BBR might be interesting against your tool.

And then say what you'd do differently. In some way I can repeat.

Well, at the moment gogo-in-flight holds the interplanetary record
(680sec as I recall), but yea, 60+ seconds is up there. Contact
Guinness!
