End-to-end delay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

End-to-end delay refers to the time taken for a packet to be transmitted across a network from source to destination. It is commonly referred in RTSP.

d_end-end= N[ d_trans+d_prop+d_proc]

where
d_end-end= end-to-end delay
d_trans= transmission delay
d_prop= propagation delay
d_proc= processing delay

Note: we have neglected queuing delays.
