Network latency is a term that describes the amount of time it takes for a data packet to travel from one point in a network to another. It is typically measured in milliseconds (ms) and can be affected by a number of factors, including the distance between the two points, the type of network connection being used, and the amount of traffic on the network.
Why is network latency important?
Network latency can have a significant impact on the performance of online applications and services. For example, high latency can cause delays in loading web pages, streaming video, and playing online games. It can also make it difficult to use real-time applications, such as video conferencing and online collaboration tools.
