In my case, my 95th percentile of high RTTs is around 20ms because of CDNs and my 80th is closer to 10ms. Similar with video games, except Eve Online which is hosted in London. In my case, a 100ms RTT is from Hawaii to Europe.

	Good point, so it is rather “longest realistic RTT” what we are after. My point was not about what the real RTTs are (even though your results are interesting in themselves) but how to name the parameter to not confuse novice users… and my hunch is RTT is not the best description here… but I lack a better snappy phrase

Best Regards

If I was to choose a  custom interval/RTT for myself without doing a proper measurement, probably 40ms, assuming that gives any benefit over the default 100ms

To not confuse these people we would need something like “typical average/median RTT” or “longest realistic RTT” or even “center of realistic RTT range” that conveys that this is more about order of magnitude than any real RTT. It could also be that people in general are much better about this and I just got a specific subset in the crowd I try to help getting sqm-scripts up and running ;)
