Hi Members,
is there anybody who can explain me difference between latency and delay?
In queuing, latency is the time between the send and the first byte of the reply, and (total) response time is the time between the send and the last byte of the reply. The time between first and last byte is the transfer time. Both are stated as if they were being observed by a client, either nearby or remote.

Delay, on the other hand, is the time the job spends sitting in a queue waiting to start work. Service time is the time it takes to do the work. Both are specifically at the server, or "queuing center"

If you draw a diagram, they overlap inconveniently (;-))
