Latency is a fundamental concept in computing and networking that refers to the time delay between a cause and its effect. In the context of data transmission, it is the time it takes for a packet of data to travel from its source to its destination. This delay can be influenced by various factors, including the physical distance between the sender and receiver, the speed of the transmission medium, the processing time at intermediate network devices like routers, and the congestion on the network.
High latency can significantly impact the user experience, particularly in applications that require real-time interaction. For
Minimizing latency is a key goal in network design and optimization. Techniques such as reducing the number
