John, > * What is the “LATENCY (SECONDS)” really mean? It's clearly not 3,000+ > seconds. Yes, it is. But the "latency" here isn't network latency; instead, it's LDM *product-latency*, which is the time from when the product was created by the source to when it was finally received by the destination. If this latency is greater than the maximum latency parameter in the LDM registry, then the LDM won't insert the product into its product-queue. > * Also, how is that latency on your server calculated? Is it done by time > since last packet, the iRTT field within the initial handshake, or by some > other method? Ibid. > I’m still seeing no huge difference between the captures Captures? Do you mean wireshark(1) or tcpdump(1) output? > during fast/normal times and bad/slow/latent times in terms of time since > last packet (fast times are .0175 seconds and right now is .03 seconds). > Really would love to have a capture of our communications from your server to > ours for comparison. 3 seconds would be plenty. I'll see what can be done.
