This document delves into the importance of additional tests with variable packet sizes in the context of IMIX genome. Current standards like RFC 2544 dictate fixed packet/frame size tests, but the need for variable size testing is examined. Key areas discussed include the significance of fully specified sequences, repeatability of tests, and the importance of frequency of size feedback. Insights on MTU size utility and specification methods are also provided, emphasizing that exact sequence specifications remain a topic of debate in broader contexts.

Additional Tests with Variable Packet Sizes • Fixed Packet/Frame Size tests are currently required in RFC 2544, etc. • IF variable size testing is needed, • Fully Specified • Repeatability? How Important? • Generally Specified if repeating sequence is too long for human comprehension (fraction, or number of frames@size for each size)
Scope and Spec • Exact Sequence specification method • No Standard IMIX!!! • IMIX-aaafg has: 64,64,64,1280,1518 • Also, frequency of a size
Feedback • MTU size is useful • Is exact sequence specification needed? • Hard to say “no” in a broad context • Spec beyond fractions • #frames at each size
