Great Latency Discussion

EdgeBlog has a great article entitles It's Still the Latency, Stupid...pt.1. A great thing for junior admins and other folks to read to get a good understanding of the Latency issues that can plague a network.

One concept that continues to elude many IT managers is the impact of latency on network design. 11 years ago, Stuart Cheshire wrote a detailed analysis on the difference between bandwidth and latency ISP links. Over a decade later, his writings are still relevant. Latency, not bandwidth, is often the key to network speed (or lack thereof).
