latencyprone
Latencyprone is an adjective used to describe systems, applications, or components that are highly sensitive to latency. In latencyprone environments, even small delays in processing, transmission, or queuing can lead to noticeable degradation in performance or user experience. The term emphasizes the importance of keeping latency within strict bounds and is often contrasted with latency-tolerant designs.
The concept is widely applied in real-time and interactive domains. Examples include online gaming, voice and
Characteristics of latencyprone systems typically include a low latency budget, high sensitivity to jitter, synchronous or
Mitigation strategies focus on reducing the time data spends in motion and smoothing delays. Tactics include
Related concepts include latency, jitter, latency budgets, and latency-sensitive or real-time system design.
