Switched ethernet is also practically TDMA. You can't send multiple packets in the same time. Although gigabit ethernet is full duplex, so you can receive and send in the same time.
Practically DOCSIS adds about 3-5 ms. Which is upper range of how much wifi adds latency.
Compare that to usual peripherals. Wireless mouses, about 50-100 ms latency, typical computer displays about 16-50 ms, flat screen TVs 80-200 ms.
- edude03 11y agoPractically speaking modern Ethernet switches are non blocking though which allows every port to talk to every other port at full speed. With DOCSIS being TDMA there isn't a way to improve speed to the backbone (other than adding more channels / smaller time slots). Also 3-5ms is probably at the low end since it heavily depends on the usage patterns of those on the same CMTS as you.
