•
Adjust upper-layer network protocols to allow for high latency.
•
Change to a profile with a higher data rate to increase link bandwidth. This decreases the noise
margin.
•
Select a low-latency (LL) LRE profile, such as LRE-5LL, LRE-10LL, or LRE-15LL.
Use the low-latency (LL) private profiles with care. The LL profiles have the LL feature
enabled and the interleaver feature turned off. The LL feature does not delay data
transmission, but it makes data more susceptible to interruptions on the LRE link.
All other profiles, public and private, have the interleaver feature enabled and the LL
feature disabled. The interleaver feature provides maximum protection against small
interruptions on the LRE link but delays data transmission. For more information about the
LRE profiles, see the
"Types of LRE Profiles" section on page
