Section 26 in The Quality Of Service Of Broadband Service Regulations, 2006
26. The ISPAI also accepted that latency of 300 msec in the international link from NIXI Node/ IGSP Gateway to the nearest NAP is reasonable. Since the measurement of latency for the international link to the nearest NAP port cannot be made by the Broadband service provider from IGSP, it is considered to measure the latency for international link from ISP Node, which is under the control of the service provider. As such, the benchmark will also include the latency from the ISP Node to the NIXI Node/IGSP Gateway. Considering this aspect, the Authority has decided that the latency for the terrestrial link from the ISP Node to the nearest NAP be < 350 msec. The core group and stakeholders have generally agreed to the proposal in the consultation paper for the latency for satellite media as <800msec and the same is accepted by the Authority.
