The only way to get an accurate estimate of expected latency is to measure it in all sorts of different scenarios. You can't measure something that doesn't exist. And relying on other peoples documentation for accurate latency est

Gotcha, I have no problem with wanting to keep your personal work closed source. I was just under the impression that this had been created as research funded by MIT. If that's not the case, then sorry for the confusion :)
