Abstract: With the move to Internet protocol (IP) networks, the desire to produce low-latency, high-throughput networks has increased in recent years. But low latency and high throughput do not necessarily go hand in hand. There is somewhat of an inverse relationship between the two, although latency plays a critical role in transmission control protocol (TCP)/IP throughput. Microbursts, buffer and queue management, and poor software design all play significant roles in increasing latency. This paper discusses the key design principles for the creation of low-latency, high-throughput IP networks for realtime mediacentric applications.
