Hi,

To clarify my comments at the mic somewhat. I do prefer this definition 
compared to the previous version reviewed at Hawaii. I am not quite sure when 
it comes compared to the definition Mirja said, there are different pros and 
cons of the two definitions.

I think there is a considerable complexity of this definition as Mirja also 
said. I see it less confusing and I think that drop tail queue might a good 
enough reference. Still there are issues with this, e.g. several packets of the 
same flow lost in an RTT. Also the actual percentages are hard to find, some 
simulations/calculations would be maybe useful to back up the actual numbers 
used.

A thing which occurred to me is that while these numbers are independent of the 
AQM being used, they are not independent of the buffer size used. 
Optimal/desirable buffer sizes (both in ms and octet) might be significantly 
different for different bitrates and RTTs, and it might be hard to actually 
compare the algorithms if they use different buffer sizes. Maybe a 
recommendation for reference buffer size would be a good addition to make 
comparisons more correct.

Bitrate based definition (i.e. what bitrate a single flow can achieve if that 
flow experiences its fair share) might be better from simplicity point of view, 
but they somehow do not feel quite right for me (I know that this is not a very 
strong argument:) ).

On why do I think it is important to have congestion level definition. It is 
because high congestion is when an AQM is stressed the most, however 
improvements for high congestion must not result in performance degradation for 
lower levels.

I leave it to the authors’ consideration whether to include any of this in an 
update.

Cheers,
Szilveszter
