Propagation Delay & RTT from Distance (Speed of Light in Fibre)
This lesson is part of the course
In this lesson
You calculate the speed of light in fibre, the one-way propagation delay and the minimum RTT for five routes from Pinemoor's Zurich office, and how much of the measured RTT is pure physics.
