Hi NANOG;
I appreciate all the thoughtful replies and I apologize for vague posting when I should be sleeping.
Let me paint a little more context and hopefully this will help inform the conversation.
Use Case 1: Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality. It is stated that round trip latency must be <4ms with 100mbit full duplex at the cell edge to prevent nausea and dizziness while wearing goggles for a long term.
Use Case 2: A little closer to “IoT”. An autonomous vehicle under remote control requires 100 feet to stop with LTE vs 20 feet with 5G.
Use Case 3: A Lidar near-miss sensor at an intersection requires 1ms from the traffic operations center.
I hypothesize that there is a ‘breaking point’ between safety, health, and latency and traditional IP.
Will tomorrow’s applications require a re-thinking of “The Internet” and protocols that are low latency compliant? Will we be building an infinite number of mobile edge compute boxes?
If there’s an academic study describing this potential issue it would help kickstart some interesting research.
Best,
Christopher
