Small buffer & Low latency vs.

Large buffer & Low packet loss

At traffic congestion, packets are buffered. Then, wait until previous

packets is output. That is one of the reasons for latency.
Latency increase according to the buffer size.

Packet Loss  High Packet Loss  Low

Waiting time  Small = Low Latency Waiting time  Large = High Latency
