Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Round Trip Delay Requirements for 9iAS??
Can probably be fairly high. Data travels at roughly 80% of light speed. It is fast indeed, but on a leased line in means in practice that a router-to-router ping takes about 100ms between Western Europe and the US East Coast, and 300ms between Western Europe and Eastern Asia at best, uncompressible (when the network is heavily loaded, it can be several seconds). I haven't tried it, but a good half-second to the antipodes looks to me like a reasonable MINIMUM. Now, compare the relative performance of tnsping to ping (and remember that tnsping talks to the tns listener, not to the database), understand that 9iAS to 9iAS is probably much worse than tnsping, and it won't fill you with unbridled optimism.
Hi Gurus,What is the maximum round trip delay that can exist between 9iAS server(Windows) and 9iAS Jinitiator(Web Client) over a WAN? Any pointers would be helpfulBest Regards
