We have updated the above paragraph from : 
“ 
 From each of these sets of measurements, the 10th and 90th
 percentiles and the median value SHOULD be computed.  For each
 scenario, a graph can be generated, with the x-axis showing the end-
 to-end delay and the y-axis the goodput.  This graph provides part of
 a better understanding of (1) the delay/goodput trade-off for a given
 congestion control mechanism, and (2) how the goodput and average
 queue size vary as a function of the traffic load.

to 

“
  From each of these sets of measurements, the CDF of the considered
  metrics SHOULD be computed.  For each scenario, the following graph
  may be generated: the x-axis shows the end-to-end delay, the y-axis
  the goodput and ellipses are computed such as detailed in [WINS2014].
  This graph provides part of a better understanding of (1) the delay/
  goodput trade-off for a given congestion control mechanism, and (2)
  how the goodput and average queue size vary as a function of the
  traffic load.
