Can somebody explain me what is delay ?? I mean the round-trip time of the packet, Is it different from media to media or it is not media-specific, secondly can I know out the links VSAT/DDN which is having a more delay over the other.
We have a VSAT link 64 kbps to one of our site and a 64kbps DDN to another site the response of the DDN is much better than the VSAT.
Normal pinging to the site connected through DDN is 40-50 miliseconds with one hop.
Normal pinging to the site connected through VSAT is 500-600 milliseconds with one hop.
Path Delay value=Link delay + Repeater Delay + DTE Delay + 5, If PDV<512 the communication path is ok.
Link Delay=2 X Segment Length X Cable Delay in BT/m
Is the same formula applicable for WAN links, VSAT etc or it is just for ethernet networks.
Pls. explain.
Thanks in advance.
