Hey Sydney, I've had some feedback from other team members and armed
with this info I'm having a crack at enabling receive buffer
auto-scaling using RTT estimations when timestamps aren't available.
I don't have any S3 buckets to tests with so Is there any chance you pop
up your test file again for me?
Regards
Steve
