interesting technical/policy discussion on a topic we care a lot about -- latency

[Mike O'Connor]

a bleed-through from my past life.  

a key point:  "we've been doing it wrong -- we should be measuring/monitoring/managing *peak* latency, not average latency"

another:  "buffering is evil"

here are links to:

- the 15-slide briefing deck -- https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/102250025806521/BITAG%20Latency%20Explained%20Briefing%202-23-22.pdf

- the full report -- https://bitag.org/documents/BITAG_latency_explained.pdf

- the project landing-page -- https://bitag.org/latency-explained.php

they're asking for comments.  anybody interested?  we've got a lot to say about how we struggle with "bad internet weather."

PS: here's a nice graphic from the briefing book that illustrates the peak latency vs average latency issue.
