Comments
The document defines a new optional TLV for STAMP test packets that lets a Session‑Sender ask the Session‑Reflector to return “asymmetrical” traffic: a controllable number of reflected packets, of a specified length, spaced at a specified nanosecond interval. This allows for use cases such as access rate measurements. It also provides guidelines for measurements in multicast topologies.

The document does acknowledge UDP considerations by explicitly citing RFC 8085 and RFC 9097 and by mandating rate/volume limits and congestion‑aware behaviour.

We would like to request a Transport Area review to understand whether the provided guidance around congestion control and the associated references are sufficient.
