VanBuren Posted October 27, 2004 CID Share Posted October 27, 2004 This helped me find out why there is a big jump in latency across atlantic ocean. http://www.rpatrick.com/tech/speeding/ Eg Stockholm to NY aprox 6300 KM that give a latency drop of 63ms, but its more then that its around 107ms for me, probl set in routing to not overload certain nodes.

luwigie Posted October 27, 2004 CID Share Posted October 27, 2004 How fast do radio signals travel through air? If they can get a signal all the way around the world in 380 ms, why can't I get one from my house, to space, to the NOC in maryland in less than 1000 with Direcway!?

RTB Posted October 27, 2004 CID Share Posted October 27, 2004 Because satellites are outside of the atmosphere. That's a lot of distance, and the distance between two satellites isn't that small either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
