surelt
Surelt is a neologism used primarily in theoretical discussions of distributed systems and real-time communications. It refers to a class of guarantees that couple high reliability with low, bounded latency in message delivery and decision-making processes. In this context, a channel described as surelt is expected to deliver messages with predictable timing under varying load and to provide clear failure semantics when guarantees cannot be met.
The term appears to be a portmanteau of sure and latency, and is occasionally expanded as an
Common characteristics associated with surelt discussions include bounded worst-case latency, reduced jitter, and explicit signaling of
As a term, surelt lacks formal standardization and a canonical definition. Critics note that universal guarantees
