Re: new HW/SW trend?

Agreed. It's as much about the consistency of the latency as the latency itself, same too goes for things such as USB which was initially designed for numbers low bandwidth data peripherals to be attached without regard to when that data will actually get to it's destination.

running the network faster will make the latency problem less obvious for
the same quantity of data running over it. But it fundamentally doesn't fix
the problem. As you increase the load on the network, the latency problem
comes back. And we've probably all noticed how any available memory,
bandwidth, cpu cycles, etc finds a way to get filled!
