Methodology
The following is an explanation of the tw telecom’s IP backbone performance measurements of Latency and Packet Delivery.
Network Latency
Defined by tw telecom as the round-trip delay for a packet to travel between two endpoints (tw telecom designated regional route servers) within tw telecom’s IP network backbone. The average round-trip delay is measured in milliseconds. The average round-trip network delay (“Latency”) is measured on an ongoing basis every 15 minutes to adequately determine consistent monthly average performance levels for packet delay between designated regional route servers.
Network Packet Delivery
Defined by tw telecom as the percentage of packets delivered in a data ping between two endpoints (tw telecom designated regional route servers) within tw telecom’s IP network backbone. Packet delivery is calculated as the percentage of packets lost during a transmission minus 100. The average packet delivery is measured on an ongoing basis every 15 minutes to adequately determine a consistent average monthly performance level for packets actually delivered between designated regional route servers.
Jitter is defined as
The round-trip variation in the delay of packets between two points within tw telecom's IP network (IP POPs). Jitter is reported in milliseconds and measured on an ongoing basis every 5 minutes.
