Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Latency is ____
A
Used to send bits wirelessly.
B
How internet bandwidth is measured.
C
The amount of time it takes for bits to travel from one place to another.
D
Cables that carry light and dramatically increase the speed and accuracy of information over the internet.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Another way to measure the speed of a computer network is latency. You might guess what that means from the word itself: latency measures how late the bits arrive. To put it in more formal terms: latency is the time between the sending of a data message and the receiving of that message, measured in milliseconds.

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: -Latency is the time it takes for a packet of data to travel from source to a destination.

Detailed explanation-4: -the amount of lag time between an action and response.

Detailed explanation-5: -Latency is the time it takes for a data packet to travel from the sender to the receiver and back to the sender. High latency can bottleneck a network, reducing its performance. You can make your web applications less latent by using a CDN and a private network backbone to transfer data.
