[rssac-caucus] rssac-002 rcode distribution and traffic volume

Hi,

Section 2.5 reads "The RCODE distribution is a raw count of the RCODE
values observed in responses during the reporting period.”

This single sentence is ambiguous, since it is interpreted in two ways.
Either it includes responses received, or it doesn’t. That needs to be
clarified, otherwise the numbers are meaningless as they can’t be compared.

Section 4.3 has a similar ambiguity. Does “responses-sent” mean sent by
the root server, or sent by something else, and observed by the root
server.

Warm regards and happy new year!

Roy
