What is latency vis a vis DSL? Olga Latency is delay. It varies from connection to connection and even during the lifetime of one connection as some IP packets may follow different routes and the heavy load on a router in the path may cause extra latency. Latency consists of two parts; Propagation delay and transmission delay. Propagation delay becomes significant for links established over satellites and transmission latency becomes significant when the packets must be forwarded over many routers. In addition routers usually introduce more latency for larger packets than smaller packets. Generally, heavy traffic in the pipe also increases transmission delays. Ed
