And just to nit-pick shouldn't that be 132 nanoseconds to account for round trip time?Only in a protocol with round trips, if you are streaming video or doing Voice over IP, you may have a lot of one way packets.

Either way, that will be downed out by the delay in the NICs, switches, and routers.

Really good switches have latency in the 10s of microseconds, the Cisco 6509 has 15 microsecond latency, best case, it would be easy to hide 132 nanoseconds in 15 microseconds.

It is going to take an extra 66 nano seconds to go the extra 50 feet, but you will never know.
Hard core gamers will argue about that. :)

An just to nit-pick shouldn't that be 132 ns to account for round trip time?
