Title : IMIX Genome: Specification of variable packet sizes for additional testing

Benchmarking Methodologies have always relied on test conditions with
constant packet sizes, with the goal of understanding what network
device capability has been tested. Constant packets sizes differ
significantly from the conditions encountered in operational
deployment, and so additional tests are sometimes conducted with a
mixture of packet sizes, or "IMIX". The mixture of sizes a
networking device will encounter is highly variable and depends on
many factors. An IMIX suited for one networking device and
deployment will not be appropriate for another. However, the mix of
sizes may be known and the tester may be asked to augment the fixed
size tests. To address this need, and the additional goal of
repeatable test conditions, this draft proposes a way to specify the
exact repeating sequence of packet sizes from the usual set of fixed
sizes.
