For what applications is 5ms more useful than 15 or 30? Much of that latency is in the last mile transport / multiplexing / buffering. I’m 7ms from Google Cloud

For what applications is 5ms more useful than 15 or 30? Much of that latency is in the last mile transport / multiplexing / buffering. I’m 7ms from Google Cloud/AWS Oregon regions from Seattle - distance to the data center is rarely the latency driver (with perhaps the exception of tier 2/3 markets - but then again, where’s my Cheyenne, WY edge zone?).
- daxfohl 6y agoI'd say it's still an open question. Certainly it's not going to be beneficial for websites etc. Mostly automation scenarios. Maybe games, maybe live video editing, maybe remote desktop? Or maybe it will be a big flop. I think it's worth the investment to find out though.
