Re:Low latency (Score 1)

The issue with latency for the most part is not network technology, its physics. While there are many techniques to improve performance over high latency links, for the most part latency is what is is going to be, until we figure out how to get electrons to move faster then the speed of light. And if you try and calculate the amount of time it would take from, say, the US to the UK and back (remember latency is calculated as RTT), don't forget that you have to take into account that C refers to the theoretical speed of light in a vacuum, not the actual speed you will see across a piece of intercontinental glass.
