Re: [codec] #19: How large is Serialization delay?

Serialization delay is defined as being

*Serialization Delay = Size of Packet (bits) / Transmission Rate (bps)*

This is summed over all hops.

For a typical low-speed backbone hop (OC3), the serialization delay for the
bitrates we are talking about result in serialization delay on the order of
10 microseconds for 20 ms frame sizes.  For a fast backbone hop (OC48) it is
on the order of 1 microsecond.

There is a handy calculator here: http://kt2t.us/serialization_delay.html
