FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -In computer networking, latency is an expression of how much time it takes for a data packet to travel from one designated point to another. Ideally, latency will be as close to zero as possible.

Detailed explanation-2: -Network latency is the delay in network communication. It shows the time that data takes to transfer across the network. Networks with a longer delay or lag have high latency, while those with fast response times have low latency.

Detailed explanation-3: -Many other types of latency exist, such as RAM latency (a.k.a. “CAS latency"), CPU latency, audio latency, and video latency. The common thread between all of these is some type of bottleneck that results in a delay.

Detailed explanation-4: -Measure (in milliseconds) of the latency of a network-that is, the time between initiating a network request and receiving a response. High latency tends to have a greater impact than bandwidth on the end-user experience in interactive applications, such as Web browsing.

Detailed explanation-5: -Measure of the responsiveness of a network, often expressed as the round-trip time (in milliseconds); that is, the time between initiating a network request and receiving a response.
