Ethernet Port Latency

[Hottub]

Hello everyone

 

I was wondering if there is a way to decrease the latency from the modem/router to Pc

 

I tried 3 different Isp's modem/routers which give the following results when pinging (using hrping for sub ms results) the default gateway

Modem 1 : Results : 0.600ms to 0.800ms

Modem 2 : Results :0.500ms to 0.700ms

Modem 3 : Results : 0.300ms - 0.500ms

 

The cable used is cat6a s/ftp 500mhz around 15meters

 

I've seen some other posts that can go low as 0.100 -0.200 ms

 

My question is does the ethernet  port has its own delay? can it be reduced ? if yes how?

Will a different cat cable reduce the delay even more?

 

Thank you for your time!

You're trying to shave 3-5 ten thousandths of a second here. You realise that, don't you?

 

You blink slower.

the port itself shouldnt have any delay since its just passing through the signal. + were talking about 3-5 ten thousandths of a  second. thats not a big difference.

Thank you guys for your answers

 

I know it is not something to bother with but why are the numbers different just of curiosity

 

What are the factors in play where some have 0.1ms where others 0.7ms?

your literally getting down to the time for the CPU in the device your talking to, to process the message and send a reply...

So it only has to do with the modem and the way it handles traffic and not with the cable type category nor the network card installed on the PC?

Yah, there is some latency added by the cards and cables but you're talking 1-2 nanoseconds at best
