One clear objection is that ICMP is often prioritised when UDP is not. So measuring with UDP gives a better indication in those cases. Measuring with a separate TCP flow, such as HTTPing, is better still by some measures, but most truly latency-sensitive traffic does use UDP. - Jonathan Morton _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
