[Tmrg] Test suite: Transfer time vs file size

[Lachlan Andrew]

Greetings all,

For the general scenarios, we specify one metric as the "transfer time
per flow versus file size".
How should we define that, given that the flows are mostly non-greedy?
 Options include:

1. Treat each "application data unit" as a single flow.  That would
mean the Tmix would have to record the statistics for us
2. Treach each entire connection as a single flow.  That would seem to
give meaningless values.
3. Add some artificial greedy flows and only record statistics from them.

My favourite option is 1.  What do others think?


BTW, I know that lots of people read this list, but very few seem to
post.  It would be great to have more interaction.  In particular,
this test suite will only be successful if it represents a community
consensus, and hence if people are willing to use it.

Cheers,
Lachlan
