Richard, Thanks for the highly informative answer. Would there be any data out there on what fraction from this 60ms to 80ms RTT is raw propagation delay and what fraction is typical packet queuing delay at intermediate switches? Does queuing delay play much of a role at all these days? Or is it

Question about propagation and queuing delays

2005-08-21 Thread David Hagel
I was wondering what are the typical coast-to-coast propagation and queuing delays observed by today's backbone networks in North America. Is there any data/study which provides a breakdown of different components of such end-to-end delays in today's backbone networks? Thanks, David
