Calculate Round Trip Time (RTT)







Formula

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:

\[ \text{AVRTTs} = \frac{\text{RTTs1} + \text{RTTs2}}{2} \]

\[ \text{AVRTTc} = \frac{\text{RTTc1} + \text{RTTc2}}{2} \]

What is Round Trip Time (RTT)?

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.

Example Calculation

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.
