Hopefully we will be able to obtain comparative test results, using the same test scripts as we use on SCE, and also insert an RFC-3168 single queue AQM into their network to demonstrate what actually happens in that case.  I think that the results will be illuminating for all concerned.

I know the experts here deems this not even a theoretical concern, but I really really want to see data, that L4S flows will not crowd out the more reactive RFC3168 flows in that situation. This is the set-up quite a number of latency sensitive end-users actually use to "debloat" the internet and it would be nice to have real data showing that this is not a concern.
Both teams brought their testbeds, and as of yesterday evening, Koen and 
Pete Heist had put the two together and started the tests Jonathan 
proposed. Usual problems: latest Linux kernel being used has introduced 
a bug, so need to wind back. But progressing.

Nonetheless, altho it's included in the tests, I don't see the 
particular concern with this 'Cake' scenario. How can "L4S flows crowd 
out more reactive RFC3168 flows" in "an RFC3168-compliant FQ-AQM". 
Whenever it would be happening, FQ would prevent it.

To ensure we're not continually being blown into the weeds, I thought 
the /only/ concern was about RFC3168-compliant /single-queue/ AQMs.
