by the intermediate and destination queuing systems. e destination processing,
is normally introduced by the processing components at the destination system,
including the packet reconstruction process. is is also dependent on the delivered
load and hardware configuration of the destination system.

As mentioned, latency (delay) is the prominent parameter in the network-centric
quality measurements (e.g., QoS-related), which is normally presented as an aver-
age value. Connectionless protocols (e.g., multimedia) often rely on IP for data
delivery and control signaling. e nature of the data delivery mechanism for IP
does not provide any guarantee that every data packet will travel v ...
