•Network latency, which is the total time it takes for a packet to get to the SVxx53DXI and come back, has the biggest impact on perceived performance and usability. Network bandwidth has a lesser effect, particularly when just moving the mouse around.

•Only a few bytes need to be sent when the mouse is moving (and nothing else is changing on the screen), but the round-trip-time limits the hand-eye coordination of the user if it is too great.
