Re: Mean vs Median

>my suggestion would be characterizing the latency by providing several
percentiles. I'd suggest using 10, 20, ... 90, 99, (and maybe 99.9 if we
define the required number of samples as large enough to capture long
tails). This is still a small number of data points that can easily be
included in a test report. But it is effectively a quantized CDF and
therefore captures the whole distribution including its shape reasonably
well.

[MG]  Thanks for sharing your paper. I am not sure if this solution would
make a good comparison base. As I see it, the test report has to be
synthetic enough to allow easy comparison. Reporting a single number might
not be enough, but reporting 10 numbers is too much imo.
