Latency Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. According to RFC 1242 (Benchmarking Terminology for Network Interconnection Devices, July 1991), latency for store-and-forward devices is the time interval starting when the last bit of the input frame reaches the input port, and ending when the first bit of the output frame is seen on the output port. For bit-forwarding devices, latency is the time interval starting when the end of the first bit of the input frame reaches the input port, and ending when the start of the first bit of the output frame is seen on the output port. Variability of latency is called "jitter." See "Delay, Latency, and Jitter." Copyright (c) 2001 Tom Sheldon and Big Sur Multimedia.
