How Low Can You Go? Measuring Latency for Networked Music Performance Across Europe

We measured end-to-end audio and video latency for LoLa and MVTP across six European research-network links. One-way audio latency ranged from 7.5 to 22.5 ms in these deployments. Route topology and endpoint processing made air distance alone a poor predictor; one firewall comparison found higher loss and buffer instability.
