latency measurements

[qweali]

What's the difference between overall network latency and overall packet latency? And how measure each of them?

Network latency measures the time it takes each flit to traverse the network. Packet latency measures the time between a packet being generated and consumed; in particular, that includes queueing delay at the network ingress (i.e., time spent sitting in an injection buffer) and serialization delay (i.e., an n-flit packet takes n cycles to be injected into the network flit-by-flit).
