Flashcards
0/10
Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the maximum rate of data transfer across a given path. Higher bandwidth indicates more data can be transferred, improving network performance and throughput.
Latency
Latency is the time it takes for a data packet to travel from source to destination. Lower latency results in more responsive network interactions.
Jitter
Jitter is the variation in time between packets arriving, caused by network congestion, timing drift, or route changes. High jitter can lead to poor audio/video quality in streaming applications.
Packet Loss
Packet loss occurs when data packets fail to reach their destination. High packet loss degrades the quality of applications, particularly streaming and VoIP services.
Throughput
Throughput is the actual rate of successful data transfer achieved and can be lower than the bandwidth due to various factors such as network congestion. It is critical for the overall capacity of a network.
Quality of Service (QoS)
Quality of Service (QoS) is a set of technologies that manage traffic to reduce latency, jitter, and packet loss, ensuring preferred treatment of specified types of data.
Error Rate
Error Rate is the frequency of errors during data transmission. A lower error rate implies a more reliable connection, essential for error-sensitive applications.
Utilization
Utilization refers to the extent to which network resources are being used. High utilization can indicate network congestion, leading to reduced performance.
Availability
Availability is the measure of the time a system or component is operational and accessible when required for use. High availability is critical for mission-critical systems.
Propagation Delay
Propagation Delay is the time it takes for a signal to travel from the sender to the receiver. It is affected by the medium through which the signal travels and the distance between devices.
