Not “no matter what,” but perhaps “running on a multitasking operating system.” With a hardware encoder and 1-frame buffer you could get down to 50ms.

As anyone that ever used AmigaOS would tell you, multitasking is not an excuse for poor latency behavior.

seL4[0] will guarantee (with formal proof) a low maximum latency despite multitasking.

No, just exclusive of transport. So 50ms in-the-building and another 50ms for SF-NY and another 50ms for SF->Moscow or similar.
