My co administrators keep complaining that these offices "have the worst performance"..... No real metrics, etc. Also, we are looking at contract renewal with our vendor. So, I am asking the question to find out if I have it good, or should I be complaining before I sign the dotted line.
How is it that you are at all happy with a 250ms latency for 1500 miles? That seems really steep to me. ________________________________ From: Kevin Lundy [mailto:klu...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2011 1:57 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: MPLS Latency I'm with Michael, I think you have pretty good performance. Why do you think you don't, simply because of your line of site math? If so, I don't think that is a reason to suspect something. If it makes you feel any better, I have 1 T1 handoff to MPLS traversing about 1500 miles and my latency is 250 ms and we are happy with it. Most of the latency is cumulative, not in the hand off (local loop). Kevin On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 2:26 PM, Michael B.

If it's with your carrier, have a chat with them at that point. However, in my personal opinion, your performance is pretty darn good. Regards, Michael B.

Some of the have pretty good latency (<10ms for Phoenix to Las Vegas - all fiber to the building) to not so good latency (40ms Phoenix ->Reno Nevada - Dual T1s in Reno). I am seeing similar latency (38ms) from Phoenix to San Jose (another dual T1 on the San Jose side, but a fiber connection to my Phoenix side. My Phoenix to Albuquerue (all fiber again) is about 15ms. This is about the same distance as to the San Jose - but over double the latency. Strict math (best case - line of site 2/3 speed of light calculations) say that my Reno line should be about 10ms. So, I double it for equipment and I still get 20ms. Less than half. My question is what do you folks see out there? Do you see a higher latency on a T1 line than a fiber to the building line by that much of a difference? Or, is there a routing issue that is creating delays? Any feed back you can give would be helpful.
