Just doing some reading on networks, and I'm encountering references to packet jitter. One text mentions measuring the maximum delay time and using that as a guidance of sizing network buffers, so I'm like WTF. I'm just beginning my quest of understanding on this topic.
Anyway, I wanted a confirmation. When text mentions network buffering to prevent jitter issues, does this mean that any packet that arrives at a node is temporarily buffered until a set of sequential packets are accumulated before they are sent to the receiver?
