It's the Latency, Stupid
- noonespecial 17y agoOld article but a good explanation of bandwidth vs latency. Long have I labored in the paneled offices of PHB's to explain that windows networking between New York and Denver is just not going to work even tough that 10Mbit leased line is 'just as fast' as ethernet.
- bluesmoon 17y agoI'd like to see what the numbers are with today's hardware. I wonder how much has changed in the last 13 years. Will report my findings here.
- bluesmoon 17y agohmm, looks like it still takes about 86ms to get from west coast to east coast and back. Does this mean that the network is as fast as it's gonna get? For a while at least.
