The dominating factor in latency here is the gigabit ethernet, this
tends to be around 100us. Here are a few notes about that:

Normally the samples would all go to the host computer that configured
the USRP. It is possible to configure the USRP with one machine but send
the samples to an arbitrary network location:

http://files.ettus.com/uhd_docs/manual/html/usrp2.html#alternative-stream-destination

For that matter, there is nothing wrong with splitting up the USRP
configuration among several computers. It all depends how you plan on
using the data.

Anything in particular that I could help to clarify?
