link fully utilized is defined as Q>0 unless you don't include the packet currently being transmitted. I do, so the TXtteer is never idle. But that's a detail.
As someone who works with moving packets, it's perplexing to me to interact with transport peeps who seem enormously focused on "goodput". My personal opinion is that most people would be better off with 80% of their available bandwidth being in use without any noticable buffer induced delay, as opposed to the transport protocol doing its damndest to fill up the link to 100% and sometimes failing and inducing delay instead.
Could someone perhaps comment on the thinking in the transport protocol design "crowd" when it comes to this?
