How to measure the network latency?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

According to the ax document the latency can being measured with the next formula:

Response time = (Number of calls to and from the server * Latency) + Number of bytes sent/b

The question is, where can I find the data?
What is the Latency value recommended?

Thanks

Best Regards

    It's a formula for response time, not for latency. Latency is one of parameters in the calculation.

    Obviously latency is multiplied by number of calls, therefore if there are many calls between tiers (which is unfortunately very common), you'll feel any problem with latency really hard. Therefore the lower you can get it, the better.

    Regarding measurement of latency, you can use simple ping or look for a more sophisticated solution (depending on your requirements).

    Martin is right its a formula:

    let me rephrase what Martin has said

    latency =  Total time, in milliseconds, that the users waited to get response/ num of calls

    Hi Bashir.

    How can I know the num of calls?

    For example, as Martin said with a Simply ping:

    What Bashir described is response time again, not latency. Latency is just one component - if you have latency zero but you're downloading a huge file, it will surely take some time. It's all in the formula - just read it.

    Manuel, now you're switching the question from latency to number of calls. Before we change the topic, please confirm that it's not a mistake and consider creating a separate topic for your new question, especially if you want to continue the discussion about latency. If you want to discuss number of calls, please tell us where you want to measure (or estimate) them.

    Martín.

    I wanted to know the latency because into the Microsoft Dynamics AX System Requirements it is wroten that:

    In the best practices. My question was how can I obtain the data to solve the formula and according to the result what is the best number or at least the best practice about it.

    Thanks.

    The formula isn't intended for being "solved", it demonstrates what has impact on response time. Don't try to use it for something else, unrelated what you seem to actually want.

    If you want to "solve" it, you must stop talking generally and come with a specific case with known number of calls and number of bytes to transfer. It's a completely different topic, therefore if you want to talk about system requirements, stop going into this direction.

    So Have I to open another question asking: ¿How can I know the number of calls in a Ping in order to measure the latency?

  • Martin Dráb Profile Picture
    Martin Dráb 239,084 Most Valuable Professional on at

    Such a question doesn't make sense. It seems that you still have no clue what latency means, do you?

    You can ping a remote system to see how much does it take to send a request and receive a response (= latency). There is no "number of calls in a Ping" and latency doesn't depend on number of calls.

    hope it will help you to understand the requirement:
