I did mention it many times during the development of h2 and quic that the original capture trace was inside a university cache hierarchy's proxy traffic that likely wasn't representative of the open Internet. The response was always that updating to a fresh capture would be too big of a change prior to publication. Likewise, getting a better trace from multiple real sources (to avoid server-specific specialization) wasn't something that anyone wanted to organize due to the privacy issues. What we should have done is reach out to a third party (like UCSD's group that does Internet measurements) to organize it as a research project, and just adopt their results at the end. ....Roy
