No, I was referring to latency (not jitter) as offset from delay. I didn't 
throw jitter into the discussion, I was making a distinction between 
latency 
and delay. Granted both jitter and latency are concepts involving timing 
uncertainty, however fundamentally different. Delay is far more simple, 
and 
the measurements under discussion were all about delay (not latency, not 
jitter). But, it's all just a matter of convention - if you have no use 
for 
the conventional distinction in terminology, by all means disregard it. 
Doing so however would not garner much credibility in an engineering 
context 
though.

Now, how did THAT enter this discussion?
