The significance totally depends on your application - if it was Voice over IP, it would be unusable.
RTT, which is basically the sum of inbound and outbound delay/latency has a number of components. One of these will be the serialisation delay, basically the delay to push all those bits one at a time through the the pipe. Your data rate will impact that. Other delays such as server processing, router hop, queing delay will not be impacted by data rate.

Is this considered a significant value? Does RTT relates to data rate? What I mean is if I increase the data rate for one capture, will it improve the RTT? Thanks. ________________________________ You rock.
