Internet service providers have for
decades been advertising ever increasing bandwidth numbers, and wrongly equated
"bandwidth" with "speed". But in reality, for most
applications latency is a better predictor of user-perceived "speed"
than bandwidth. In this talk I intend to dive into this question in more
detail, in the hope of convincing you that you should care more about latency and less about
throughout - whether you're an application developer or an end user. You might
have heard about latency before, but what is latency? And what is latency in
internet?
Listen to
this talk, where you will hear Toke Høiland-Jørgensen from RedHat present the
topic ‘Latency’. Toke is presenting at Driving IT 2022 and Driving IT is IDA IT's big annual
4-track conference with 40 different speakers, where all the important and
future things about IT are addressed in one day.
