Effective Network Round Trip Time

Effective Round Trip Time is composed of Network Round Trip Time plus delays caused by retransmissions for a single transaction.

This metric is valuable because it reflects latency the user actually experiences. The Administrator can set an incident threshold for this metric to detect performance degradation in networks because of retransmissions.

Effective Round Trip Time is closer to the end-user network experience than Network Round Trip Time because Network Round Trip Time and Retransmission Delay are both included. Compare it to Network Round Trip Time and Retransmission Delay to see how each component contributes in relation to the other.
