Domain-specific¶
- Fallacy of Zero Latency
- Real networks add latency that is irreducible by software: a call to a service in a neighboring rack adds microseconds to low milliseconds; a cross-datacenter call adds tens of milliseconds; a cross-continent call adds several tens of milliseconds, and the longest intercontinental routes over a hundred; and in mobile or edge environments, lossy links and radio scheduling can push individual round trips past a second
This sourceGrigorik tabulates fiber round-trip times across continental and intercontinental distances (New York-San Francisco 42 ms, New York-London 56 ms, New York-Sydney 160 ms) and the mobile radio state-transition delays that push individual round trips past a second, and grounds their irreducibility in the speed of light; the same-rack and cross-datacenter figures in this sentence are not from this source, which does not treat datacenter networking.
