networking - Calculating Real Network Round-trip -

i understand network latency bit better.

lets there's 1 client , 2 servers. client sends 1000 bytes each of servers, each server responds instantly 1000 bytes.

ping round trip times client:

to server 1 - 2ms to server 2 - 20ms

assume both client , servers connected quality 1 gbps pipe (but not via dedicated line between them).

question: how calculate real time when client starts sending 1000 bytes when receives lastly byte of response data. close 2ms server 1 , 20ms server 2?

yes, that's right!

the ping round-trip delay measures how long takes little packet of info travel 1 host on network another, , original host.

you should maintain in mind numbers fluctuate bit based on network conditions , load on processors of hosts. should average round-trip delay on few samples prepared other packet may experience unusual delay variety of reasons.
