Wow, this is the first time I've found an academic challenging the increase of delay in routers under network congestion.
I don't know if context implies reviewer was academic. Whilethe common case remains that latencies per link jump from low microseconds to tens of milliseconds during congestion of BB interface, there are also a lot of deployments using devices (trident, tomahawk) with minimal buffering not allowing even millisecond of buffering during congestion. Reviewer may have thought of those devices when they answered, but I agree that answer would be generally wrong. -- ++ytti
