Optimising for High Latency Environments

CSS Wizardry

This gives fascinating insights into the network topography of our visitors, and how much we might be impacted by high latency regions. Round-trip-time (RTT) is basically a measure of latency—how long did it take to get from one endpoint to another and back again? What is RTT? RTT isn’t a you-thing, it’s a them-thing.

Building Netflix’s Distributed Tracing Infrastructure

The Netflix TechBlog

If we had an ID for each streaming session then distributed tracing could easily reconstruct session failure by providing service topology, retry and error tags, and latency measurements for all service calls. Our trace data collection agent transports traces to Mantis job cluster via the Mantis Publish library.
