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: -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-3: -Latency refers to the delay users experience as data makes a round trip through the network. If the latency of your network is high, the network will feel less responsive and be slower to react to your requests.
