1. A method for latency control in a communication network, the method comprising:
identifying that a service is currently associated with a user device associated with the communication network, wherein a deviation between a latency requirement of the service and an internal latency performance of the communication network is bounded in that a ratio between a latency requirement parameter value of the service and a corresponding internal latency performance parameter value of the communication network falls within a bounding range, wherein each of the latency requirement parameter and the corresponding internal latency performance parameter is one of: an average duration of transfer, a maximum duration of transfer, and a variance of duration of transfer; and
dynamically adjusting a configuration of the communication network for the service to decrease the internal latency performance parameter value for the communication network.
