	[SM} Excellent, hope this plays out as we wish for.

	[SM] Cool, if I might ask what fraction of the sync are you setting the traffic shaper for and are you doing fine grained overhead accounting (or simply fold that into a grand "de-rating"-factor)?

	[SM] Yes, although IIUC they are reporting the interquartile mean for the two loaded latency estimates, which is pretty conservative and only really "triggers" for massive consistently elevated latency; so I expect this to be great for detecting really bad cases, but I fear it is too conservative and will make a number of problematic links look OK. But hey, even that is leaps and bounds better than the old only idle latency report.

	[SM] Inside the EU the challenge is to get national regulators and the BEREC to start bothering about latency-under-load at all, "some mainstream publicity" would probably help here as well.
