Hi Ankit,
I’m glad you are deeply engaging with the course content and analyzing the concepts thoroughly. The values such as 120.5 ms for time_base_min and 201.5 ms for time_base_max are calculated in back-of-the-envelope calculations for the latency chapter in detail. We performed rigorous experiments and came up with these values. I hope this chapter will clear up the confusion. Please feel free to ask questions if you have any confusion.
Thank you and we wish you continued success in your learning journey at Educative.
Best regards,
