Speaking of which: do you know of a good method to verify the delay
timing? Is there *something* which is sensitive to those timings and which
can be easily checked and qualified?
I just tried iperf3 yesterday, but didn't spot any real change in the
numbers when toying with those delay values.
As mentioned in the other email, we can easily hack the values at runtime,
so if there is a way to get some "quality" value, this could even be
automated.

Thanks,
Andre
