Latency, often measured in milliseconds (ms), refers to the time delay between a user's action and the system's response. In the context of computing and networking, it quantests the responsiveness of a system. High latency means a noticeable delay, while low latency indicates a near-instantaneous reaction.
The causes of latency are varied. In networking, it can be attributed to the physical distance data
Within a single computer, latency can arise from slow storage devices, the processing speed of the CPU,
Minimizing latency is crucial for a good user experience, especially in applications that require real-time interaction.
