Hi, take throughput is an(rate) amount(of a complete work, bits,job etc) per time, lateny is more of time spent in a cyle/per task/job etc. So you can see one is a rate the other is time spent per a complet task
The question is, seeing that we mostly ignore latency, can it be so bad at some level such that a good throughput becomes almost useless. eg, a speeding matatu shuttle may take 1 hr between Nairobi to Nakuru, while another may take 2.5 hours. What about if you have to wait 1 hr for matatu A, does it still make sense?
I think some people are not getting the difference between Bandwidth and Throughput On Mon, May 7, 2012 at 1:47 PM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:
