Someone who is knowledgeable in this subject needs to explain what N is in the formula. Is N the number of links, or the number or packet-switches? 128.180.228.81 ( talk) 01:06, 2 September 2008 (UTC) N is the number of bits —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.25.88.205 ( talk) 21:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC) I was wondering the same thing myself and was hoping I'd find the answer on Talk :( Ensign R ( talk) 11:02, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
From my textbook: N-1 is the numbers of routers.
From my TA: N is a numbers of link.
C-----R-----R------S
N = 3
R = 2

I suggest merging " one-way delay" into " end-to-end delay".
As far as I can tell from the articles themselves, both terms describe the same thing -- the number of seconds a packet spends traveling a network from source to destination. It appears that the difference, if any, between these two things can be described in a couple of sentences in the merged article. -- DavidCary ( talk) 03:39, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
- Strong support and I suggest this can be done WP:BOLDly without further discussion. ~ KvnG 17:00, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support. We've got three who say yes over the course of a week. That's enough; go for it. Jim.henderson ( talk) 11:53, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
