COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Minor clarification comments:

1) section 2.2.4: "This stream contains two flows, each contributing 500
packets per second to the 1,000 packet per second aggregate."
    Are these packets send alternating or in a block or does that not
matter?

2) section 3.1.1: "When the timer expires, stop the test stream, wait
sufficient time for any queued packets to exit, ..."
  That's the sending queue at the tester? I guess you'd also want to give
it some time to make sure the packets send out can still be received.
Does it makes sense to recommend a time here that's safe?

3) And a more general but even less important question: Isn't the base
test included in the scaling test? And if so, do you still need to define
the base test separately?
