MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

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: -The latency of a system is the time it takes for a bit to travel from sender to receiver.

Detailed explanation-3: -Latency is the time it takes for a packet of data to travel from source to a destination.

Detailed explanation-4: -Latency can either be measured as the Round Trip Time (RTT) or the Time to First Byte (TTFB): RTT-the amount of time it takes a packet to get from the client to the server and back. TTFB-the amount of time it takes for the server to receive the first byte of data when the client sends a request.

Detailed explanation-5: -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. Businesses prefer low latency and faster network communication for greater productivity and more efficient business operations.
