Do we share the same definition of cross traffic? The testbed consists
of fifo, codel, and fq_codel queues, against 1-2 tcp flows, against a
p2p videoconferencing flow.

I am sometimes just as subject to confirmation bias as the next guy,
and in re-reading this this morning I would have liked it if they had
cited rfc8290, and extended their tests to use a bigger BDP for the
fifo as well as tested web PLT. a shorter RTT would also be
interesting in the case of a ptp app such as this.

An exciting part to me remains in exploring the videoconferencing QoE
technique they discuss (Brisque) which I haven´t found sources for
yet...
