A latency budget is a target for the end-to-end latency of a path at stated percentiles, split into targets for each stage, against which every change to the system is measured.

Example 1.10 (A three-microsecond budget)
A software system must answer within wire to wire at the median. The card and kernel-bypass receive path take about and the transmit path (the synthetic figures of Figure 1.2); is left for decode, book, strategy, risk and encode. Split , , , and the rest in reserve, it fits; the toy book of Figure 1.3 alone, at about at the median but near a microsecond at p99.9, does not fit a tail target. Chapter 19 builds one that does.
