What is ISDN?
The item of data which travels down the most direct path will
arrive first. That which goes via satellite will arrive later because it has
further to travel.
If the blue data item and the red data item together comprise a
logical entity (eg. a picture on a web page), the receiving user cannot use the
blue item until the red item has also arrived. It is his responsibility to
understand this and to take appropriate action. Normally this will be done in
software such as MLPPP.
