<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Looking at the FCC draft report, page 73, Figure 24 – I find it sort of ridiculous that the table describes things as “Low Latency Service” available or not. That is because they seem to really misunderstand
the notion of working latency. The table instead seems to classify any network with idle latency <100 ms to be low latency – which as Dave and others close to bufferbloat know is silly. Lots of these networks that are in this report classified as low latency
would in fact have working latencies of 100s to 1,000s of milliseconds – far from low latency.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
