The Morning Paper

This paper describes the networking stack, Snap , that has been running in production at Google for the last three years+. Enter Google! I’m jumping ahead a bit here, but the component of Snap which provides the transport and communications stack is called Pony Express. SOSP’19. Emphasis mine). Emphasis mine).

Run performance experiments and measure outcomes — both on mobile and on desktop (for example, with Google Analytics ). Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Adjust the argument depending on the group of stakeholders you are speaking to.

Our metrics at Google show a conflicted picture (which I’m working to get to clarity on). Contended, over-subscribed cells can make “fast” networks brutally slow, transport variance can make TCP much less efficient , and the bursty nature of web traffic works against us. 75% of of connections occur on either 2G or 3G.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later). A good starting point is to choose a good default stack for your application.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).
