maxDelay
Maxdelay is a general term used to describe a configurable upper bound on delay in computing, networking, and related fields. It typically refers to the maximum time allowed for a process, data item, or message to be delayed before a predefined action is taken, such as timeout, retransmission, or route reconsideration. The exact interpretation and units (seconds, milliseconds, microseconds) depend on the context and the system’s timing requirements.
In networking and quality of service contexts, maxdelay often represents an end-to-end latency bound for time-sensitive
In multimedia streaming and real-time applications, maxdelay commonly refers to the maximum buffering or playback delay
In software and simulation environments, maxdelay is frequently a timeout threshold. If an asynchronous operation or
Choosing a value for maxdelay involves balancing latency against reliability and throughput. It should reflect application
