D.2.1 VersaFEC ACM Latency
Examining the data in Table D-2, latency for each ModCod is shown for the example of VersaFEC
ACM at a fixed 100 ksymbols/second rate. Of particular note is that even though the ModCods
span a 7:1 variation in throughput, the latency is only varying between 25 and 34 milliseconds.
In the example shown the worst-case latency for this ACM scheme is 34 milliseconds.
