Section 25 in The Quality Of Service Of Broadband Service Regulations, 2006
25. During consultation process the general view was that the proposed benchmark of <90 msec for latency from User to IGSP Gateway is too inadequate. There were also suggestions that the measurement to be made on a sample basis and there should be a reference point for measurement. The reference point was discussed in the core group and the group considered reference points as User, ISP Node/POP and NIXI/IGSP nodes. Considering the fact that the latency measurement to NIXI/IGSP Gateway reference point is more holistic than measuring the latency for each component of the network, the Authority felt that latency in the national leg from the User (Reference Point) to International Gateway (IGSP/NIXI) shall be specified and decided that the benchmark shall be <120 msec, which is achievable.
