Jon,
I also forgot to mention that the RTT also includes terrestrial router
delays in addition to the satellite hop.
This typically accounts for the rest of the RTT.

Hi,
Please excuse a newbie question, but where does the 0.6 derive from in
these calcs? Is it the latency introduce by the trip up and back to the
satellite? If so it seems rather high, my calcs give me more like 250ms.
