The formula to calculate the Round Trip Time (RTT) is:
\[ \text{RTT} = \text{AVRTTs} + \text{AVRTTc} \]
Where:
The average round trip times can further be broken down into the following equations:
\[ \text{AVRTTs} = \frac{\text{RTTs1} + \text{RTTs2}}{2} \]
\[ \text{AVRTTc} = \frac{\text{RTTc1} + \text{RTTc2}}{2} \]
Round Trip Time (RTT) is the time it takes for a small packet to travel from the client to the server and back. It is a crucial metric in network performance, indicating the latency or delay in communication between two points. Lower RTT values indicate faster and more efficient network performance.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the Round Trip Time:
\[ \text{AVRTTs} = \frac{50 + 60}{2} = 55 \text{ ms} \]
\[ \text{AVRTTc} = \frac{40 + 45}{2} = 42.5 \text{ ms} \]
\[ \text{RTT} = 55 + 42.5 = 97.5 \text{ ms} \]
This means that the round trip time for this scenario is 97.5 ms.
