        RTT is fine, uni-directional transfer time would be too good to be true 
;). The “trick” is to measure RTT without load and under hope-fully link 
saturating load and look at the difference in average RTT and the RTT 
distributions (so 3 numbers, 2% quantile, average, and 98% quantlie). I think 
it really is that simple...

        I believe the added latency under load would be a marketable number, 
but we had a discussion in the past where it was argued that marketing wants a 
number which increases with goodness, so larger = better, something the raw 
difference is not going to deliver….
