latency

The latency value, in milliseconds, that is proposed during the SRT connection handshake. SRT will choose the maximum of the values proposed by the sender and receiver. On the sender side, latency is the amount of time a packet is held to give it a chance to be delivered successfully. On the receiver side, latency is the amount of time the packet is held before delivering to the application, aiding in packet recovery and matching as closely as possible the packet timing of the sender. Range: 40-16000 milliseconds.
