Comcast is launching L4S, a new technology designed to drastically reduce latency for users of its Xfinity internet service. This initiative aims to enhance real-time online experiences like video gaming and FaceTime calls by decreasing delays in data transmission. Unlike traditional upgrades that boost bandwidth, L4S focuses on optimizing packet travel efficiency, signaling when congestion occurs, thereby refining data flow. The rollout will occur in various cities including Atlanta and San Francisco, with the goal of providing a smoother connectivity experience for users.
The technology powering this upgrade is based on a standard called L4S, which aims to significantly reduce latency for smoother video gaming and calling experiences.
L4S pulls this off by giving internet packets an indicator that lets them know if they've run into congestion or queueing along their trip.
