This should be something that can be relatively exhaustively measured
with a bunch of implementations. Sounds like an ideal student project
to me. I will try to keep that in mind when an opportunity comes by.

I think this should start out with an informational draft outlining the
problem; This will likely get some of the messy-ness out, and might
lead to a good recommendation. Let me mark this thread as 'unread', so
i remember to setup a skeleton structure for an I-D.

With best regards,
