Additionally, I would not expect such “baseline” changes in the minimum RTT to be due to variation in CPU processing time. These changes are more typical of a physical path change, as suggested by the author. CPU/soft processing latency would look more like additive noise. I give some examples of RTT patterns in this talk: https://ripe77.ripe.net/archives/video/2250/ https://ripe77.ripe.net/archives/video/2250/
