Identifying the source of latency also plays an important role in TCP troubleshooting. Let's see what the common causes of latency are:
Network slow wire latency can be measured with the ping utility
Too many running processes eat memory. Check the memory management, work with free, top command to identify CPU and memory use
Application not started with sufficient memory or cannot serve more requests
Bad TCP tuning; verify the /etc/sysctl.cnf file
Network jitter; verify your network and check with the network administrator
