Talk:End-to-end delay

N
Someone who is knowledgeable in this subject needs to explain what N is in the formula. Is N the number of links, or the number or packet-switches? 128.180.228.81 (talk) 01:06, 2 September 2008 (UTC) N is the number of bits —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.25.88.205 (talk) 21:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC) I was wondering the same thing myself and was hoping I'd find the answer on Talk :( Ensign R (talk) 11:02, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

From my textbook: N-1 is the numbers of routers.

From my TA: N is a numbers of link.

C-R-R--S

N = 3

R = 2

I suggest merging "one-way delay" into "end-to-end delay".

As far as I can tell from the articles themselves, both terms describe the same thing -- the number of seconds a packet spends traveling a network from source to destination. It appears that the difference, if any, between these two things can be described in a couple of sentences in the merged article. --DavidCary (talk) 03:39, 1 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Strong support and I suggest this can be done WP:BOLDly without further discussion. ~KvnG 17:00, 6 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Support. We've got three who say yes over the course of a week. That's enough; go for it. Jim.henderson (talk) 11:53, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
