Satalite?

I have a satellite Ethernet connection that can go up to 10mbps my average
speed is about 666..........lol serious.....anyways I cant use xbox live
with a Ethernet connection can I?

No, the latency of a satellite connection is too great.

packet loss, right? im probably not the right person to explain this but im
pretty sure im right: if you send 20 packets of information and only 5 are
ever recieved, you have horrible latency and those 15 lost packets need to
be re-sent. this would cause huge problems with xbox live. i think (;

"Growing older is mandatory.
Growing up is optional."

The time it take for your signal to travel the several miles up to the
satellite and them back down the several miles.

For example if I ping almost any site that gives replies I usually have
less then 100 ms for the reply where as with your signal doing the extra
traveling it would be 200+ thus a slow time for data to travel also
called latency.

This basically means that for you to play games online you will need to
use a different Internet connection then your satellite connection.

You can also look up the word "latency" at
http://dictionary.reference.com/ I found the following reference at

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=latency

The one that answers the question of what the word means for networking
is listed below.

"latency



<communications> 1. The time it takes for a packet to cross
a network connection, from sender to receiver.

2. The period of time that a frame is held by a network device
before it is forwarded.

Two of the most important parameters of a communications
channel are its latency, which should be low, and its
bandwidth, which should be high. Latency is particularly
important for a synchronous protocol where each packet
must be acknowledged before the next can be transmitted.

The pic is appropriate, but, alas, this is not a binaries newsgroup and
*posting* the pic is not appropriate.
