The latency is corrected for. A query-response cycle is a back-and-forth
exchange. The assumption is that the latency for the response (going
forth) is equal to the latency for the response (going back), and both
are half of the total latency, which you do know. So you estimate that
the response was sent half the total latency time before the moment you
received it.

This often works well, and sometimes not so well. Domestic ADSL with a
saturated upstream and downstream capacity left is one common case where
it works not so well.

That's a *very* tall order.
