thanks! Let's chat at the IETF if there are any tests we can do that would make the results even more relevant for you guys?

We haven't looked into the details much. One factor may be that the delay numbers we measured where taken at the same time we did the bulk throughput measurements, and they only used a single connection up and/or down. And IIRC we measured the delay experience by that connection and not the delay experienced by other connections through the box at the time. It may also be that our population is home gateways is newer (= better?) than the one measured by the IMC paper. We'll attempt to look into this more deeply during the next phase of the study.
