There are no upper boundaries when it comes to latency, but at some point your browser/whatever will start to resend the information, thinking it's lost. Typically you should have around 20-30ms within the same country, depending on peering and such.
- sukuriant 15y ago"Small"-country standpoint. In the States, ping could be upwards of, or over 100. I imagine China has a similar issue.
- moe 15y agoYour country may be big, but it's not that big. Physical coast to coast distance is 15 light-milliseconds.
- sukuriant 15y agoThose are the latencies I expect, though. And literal coast to coast distance does not take into account the structure of the network.
- icehawk 15y ago15ms, one way, in a vacuum, going directly. When you start to factor in things like the fact that light travels 1/3 as fast in a glass fiber as it does in vacuum, routing overhead, and the fact that ping is a round-trip measurement, 60-100ms is about normal.
- onemoreact 15y ago15 milliseconds * 2 (ping = round trip time) * 1.52 (~index of refraction in fiber) = 45.6ms straight line. Add in routing dilays and less than optimal paths and your quickly hit 60-100 ms.
