round trip time

About this tag
Round trip time (RTT) is a key network performance metric that measures the time it takes for a data packet to travel from a client to a server and back. On WindowsForum.com, discussions about round trip time often appear in the context of web performance optimization techniques such as TCP Fast Open, TLS False Start, and TLS 1.3. These technologies aim to reduce the number of round trips required during connection establishment, thereby improving page load times and user experience. Microsoft Edge and Windows Insider Preview builds have introduced support for TCP Fast Open, which can lower RTT for repeated connections. Understanding round trip time is essential for troubleshooting network latency and optimizing web browsing performance on Windows systems.
