Low latency DOCSIS should be the industry standard. The next selling point in response to FTTx has missed the bus. Operators seem to enjoy shooting themselves in the foot and patting their own backs at the same time. It’s a maddening business model from an engineering standpoint.
Appreciate your passion and perspective! Low Latency DOCSIS is indeed a game-changer, and while it may seem like the industry is slow to adopt, it’s important to recognize the complexity and risk involved. Implementing cutting-edge technology in large, live networks requires balancing innovation with stability. No operator wants to introduce issues that could impact millions of customers. That said, you’re absolutely right - operators do need to step up and seize these opportunities to stay competitive with FTTx. It’s a delicate dance, but one that will ultimately benefit everyone as the technology matures and adoption increases.
Also, we should keep in mind that there isn't necessarily a one-to-one relationship between bandwidth/available throughput and round trip delay. It's a common misconception that greater bandwidth automatically fixes delay problems.
Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but "jitter variation" is a redundant term. Jitter already means "delay variation," so "jitter variation" means "delay variation variation."🤣
Yes! Thanks for clarification for our audience as well a good reminder to me. I tend to use these together in casual conversation - like the livestream - but Ron Hranac too reminds me of the same. Thanks Hunter!

I was on a plane and missed this one! Great session, gang! Thank you.
Glad you could catch the replay. We missed you on the livestream!

Thanks for pointing that out!
