Hi Mirja,

That sounds fairly reasonable to me.
Would it be possible to ask the authors provide a bit more 
detail on Flow Completion Time?

I imagine that related benchmarking efforts may wish to measure this 
metric, and there would be independent implementations based on
the description provided here.
