  2. Round-trip delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-trip_delay

    However, ping time may differ from experienced RTT with other protocols since the payload and priority associated with ICMP messages used by ping may differ from that of other traffic. End-to-end delay is the length of time it takes for a signal to travel in one direction and is often approximated as half the RTT.

  3. Transmission time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_time

    The round-trip time or ping time is the time from the start of the transmission from the sending node until a response (for example an ACK packet or ping ICMP response) is received at the same node. It is affected by packet delivery time as well as the data processing delay, which depends on the load on the responding node. If the sent data ...

  4. Latency (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(engineering)

    Ping uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request which causes the recipient to send the received packet as an immediate response, thus it provides a rough way of measuring round-trip delay time. Ping cannot perform accurate measurements, [7] principally because ICMP is intended only for diagnostic or control purposes, and ...

  5. ping (networking utility) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_(networking_utility)

    Ping operates by means of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets. Pinging involves sending an ICMP echo request to the target host and waiting for an ICMP echo reply. The program reports errors, packet loss , and a statistical summary of the results, typically including the minimum, maximum, the mean round-trip times, and standard ...

  6. Interpacket gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpacket_gap

    In computer networking, the interpacket gap (IPG), also known as interframe spacing, or interframe gap (IFG), is a pause which may be required between network packets or network frames.

  7. Network delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_delay

    Queuing delay – time the packet spends in routing queues; Transmission delay – time it takes to push the packet's bits onto the link; Propagation delay – time for a signal to propagate through the media; A certain minimum level of delay is experienced by signals due to the time it takes to transmit a packet serially through a link.

  8. Transmission delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_delay

    In other words, this is the delay caused by the data-rate of the link. Transmission delay is a function of the packet's length and has nothing to do with the distance between the two nodes. This delay is proportional to the packet's length in bits. It is given by the following formula: = / seconds. where:

  9. End-to-end delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_delay

    End-to-end delay or one-way delay (OWD) refers to the time taken for a packet to be transmitted across a network from source to destination. It is a common term in IP network monitoring , and differs from round-trip time (RTT) in that only path in the one direction from source to destination is measured.
