No, I was referring to latency (not jitter) as offset from delay. I didn't
throw jitter into the discussion, I was making a distinction between
latency
and delay. Granted both jitter and latency are concepts involving timing
uncertainty, however fundamentally different. Delay is far more simple,
and
the measurements under discussion were all about delay (not latency, not
jitter). But, it's all just a matter of convention - if you have no use
for
the conventional distinction in terminology, by all means disregard it.
Doing so however would not garner much credibility in an engineering
context
though.

Now, how did THAT enter this discussion?
