Hi There,

I am new to gRPC and browsing the website of gRPC test.   The link:    
https://grpc.io/docs/guides/benchmarking/

The forgoing sentences confuse me on the website:

   - Contentionless latency - the median and tail response latencies seen 
   with only 1 client sending a single message at a time using StreamingCall



What is the exact meaning of "Contentionless latency"?   Does it mean that 
very few data traffic on the network?  Something like:  only several 
messages or packets are sent over the network, the bandwidth of the network 
is NOT an issue,  the network is NOT a bottleneck. 

If my foregoing understand is right,  every RPC call is around the same 
latency, right?   Why do we need median latency and tail response latency? 
These two parameters(median latency and tail response latency) should be 
the same value if the network is NOT bottleneck?

Many thanks in advance!


Best,
Robert Q
