Howdy, Why is latency between the east and west coasts so bad? Speed of light accounts for about 15ms each direction for a 30ms round trip. Where does the other 30ms come from and why haven't we gotten rid of it? c = 186,282 miles/second 2742 miles from Seattle to Washington DC mainly driving I-90 2742/186282 ~= 0.015 seconds Thanks, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
