+1 on all. Except that Little's Law is very general as it applies to any ergodic process. It just derives from the law of large numbers. And BTW, Little's law is a very powerful law. We use it unconsciously all the time. On Tue, Dec 12, 2017 at 11:53 PM, wrote: > Luca's point tends to be

I think everything is about response time, even throughput. If we compare the time to transmit a single packet from A to B, including propagation delay, transmission delay and queuing delay, to the time to move a much larger amount of data from A to B we use throughput in this second case because

This is also true in the consumer space, and is the reason why ISPs can save money by taking advantage of statistical multiplexing. On average, I personally could be satisfied with a megabit, but it's a real pain to download gigabyte-class software updates at that speed. If it takes me literally

I suggest we stop talking about throughput, which has been the mistaken idea about networking for 30-40 years. Almost all networking ends up being about end-to-end response time in a multiplexed system. Or put another way: "It's the Latency, Stupid". I get (and have come to expect) 27

Looking at chipsets coming/just arrived from the chipset vendors, I think we will see CPE with 10G SFP+ and 802.11ax Q3/Q4 this year. Price is of course a bit steeper than the 15USD USB DSL modem :P, but probably fits nicely for the SMB segment. Pedro On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 11:47 AM, Joel Wirāmu

For in home or even SMB, I doubt that 10G to the user PC is the main use case. Its having the uplink capable of support of more than1G, that 1G does not necessarily need to be generated by only one host on the LAN. Pedro On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 11:27 AM, Joel Wirāmu Pauling
