Linear End-To-End Time

Definition

Linear End-To-End Time refers to the total duration required for a process or transaction to complete sequentially from its initiation to its final confirmation, without any parallelization or branching. In blockchain systems, this metric measures the time from when a transaction is broadcast until it is irrevocably recorded on the ledger. It provides a direct measure of latency within a system where operations occur in a strict, ordered progression. Optimizing this time is critical for system efficiency and user experience.
