What Is Network Latency?
- teleforce 5y agoSometimes latency does not really matter and is not as important as jitter (variance of latency). Classic example of this is real-time live video streaming over satellite networks. Interestingly the article is written by one of Aspera's vendors, a popular proprietary software and that uses FASP protocol for fast bulk data transfer [1]. The alternative is that you can use open protocols, for example UDT, to transfer enormous e-VLBI data for radio astronomy [2],[3].
