Human Response Time

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The human response time is the assumed human threshold . The term is used in particular in the analysis and design of computer networks .

It is assumed that humans usually do not notice a delay of up to 100 ms when working in a computer network. This size plays a particularly important role in the use of server - applications and multimedia applications, such as the IP telephony . In IP telephony, it is important to find a good measure of the playback delay, which is necessary for jitter correction so that the user does not see any disruptive delay. The delay would be noticeable by the fact that a reply from the interlocutor would always be a long time coming, so that the conversation would not flow well.
