There is no way to model how much more traffic you can send to that system before it exceeds it’s SLA. Every opportunity for delay due to more work than the best case or more time waiting than the best case increases the latency and they all add up and create a long tail. Mu is the mean of each component, the latency.

The most obvious change 5G might bring about isn’t to cell phones but to local networks, whether at home or in the office. High-speed networks through 5G may represent the next generation of cord cutting. Those waits can be significant, even if you’re on a corporate network. What will 5G mean in practice? I don’t, do you?

An opening scene involving a traffic jam of Viking boats and a musical number (“Love Can’t Afjord to wait”). Earlier this month I spent a week at the OpenStack conference. But once you realize that there are, in fact, several OpenStack conferences happening at the same time and place, it makes more sense. Vikings fight zombies.

In that scenario, the system would need to deal with the data propagation latency directly, for example, by use of timeouts or client-originated update tracking mechanisms. With traffic growth, a single leader node handling all request volume started becoming overloaded. The cache is kept in sync with the current leader process.

As we will see, QUIC and HTTP/3 indeed have great web performance potential, but mainly for users on slow networks. If your average visitor is on a fast cabled or cellular network, they probably won’t benefit from the new protocols all that much. Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT). Congestion Control.

You may have read some blog posts or heard conference talks on this topic and think you know the answers. It also, however, takes a full network round trip to complete before anything else can be done on a connection. For example, if the device is a firewall, it might be configured to block all traffic containing (unknown) extensions.
