+1 on comments pertaining to the apparent age of the data presented in this draft. While also recognizing that collecting that data is not trivial.
Thanks to Christian Amsuss for his ARTART review. I think the archival value of this work is greater than what I inferred from the text in the Abstract.
This is an interesting document, however I can't tell how up to date it is, as it seems it is roughly a publication of research date of Sep 2021. It would make more sense to me if the document was updated to more recent deployments before publication. But I don't want to block the document from moving forward either.
** Section 1. Editorial. Internet privacy is becoming a huge concern, as more and more devices are getting directly (e.g., via Wi-Fi) or indirectly (e.g., via a smartphone using Bluetooth) connected to the Internet. Consider s/Internet privacy/Privacy/ ** Section 7. Consider if the tables need to be included here at all and how they will age. For example, Table 2 appears to be already presenting almost 3 year old results – could these be validated to be true at least at the time of publication? ** Section 7. Other comments on the consistency and specificity of the table: -- Per “Linux”, what version or distribution is being referenced? I ask because it seems like saying “Linux” is the same as “Windows” (no version number). -- Per “Android 10”, any commentary on 11+? I ask because Android 10 is 5 years old and Android 11 was already in production well before the September 2021 cut-off.
Almost felt like an IRTF or IAB workshop report document to me. May be it has some archival value but a blog on persistant website would serve the same purpose. I would ecourage to use the WG wiki to be used for such documentation.
