Section 3.8.2 (comment 11)

[LPardue]

Section 3.8.2: We suggest rephrasing this sentence to avoid awkward phrasing/comma usage. Does the suggested text change the original intended meaning?

Original:

   When the sender is application-
   limited and e.g., only sends small amount of periodic application
   traffic, where that period is longer than the RTT, measuring the spin
   bit provides information about the application period, not the
   network RTT.

Perhaps: For example, when the sender is application limited and only sends small amounts of application traffic periodically, where the periodicity is longer than the RTT, spin bit measurement provides information about the application period rather than network RTT.

That's fine. However, I think I would rather say "spin bit measurements" instead of "spin bit measurement". Also I guess we can even remove "is application limited" because we already say this in the previous sentence, so it would be:

For example, if the sender only sends small amounts of application traffic periodically, where the periodicity is longer than the RTT, spin bit measurements provide information about the application period rather than network RTT.
