[ih] A revolution in Internet point-of-view - Was Re: Internet analyses (Was Re: IPv8...)

[Brian E Carpenter]

There's certainly been very little explicit usage of waterfall models
in the IETF, even though it's clear that some people are aware of them
and aware of the problem of accumulated performance delays. For example,
I found this in a 2021 discussion of metrics for delay:

"For instance, a waterfall diagram shows how the loading of objects
within a web page depends on other objects in other connections."

The best reference I found was in one of my own messages shortly after
the March 2006 IETF meeting in Dallas:

"Thanks and congratulations are due to the NOC
crew for relocating the NOC equipment to get away from the
waterfalls from the light fixtures, with only a few
minutes's interruption to DHCP service."
