Network Latency
Amount of time required to transfer a bit of data from one point to another
Delay of transfer
How up to date is the information
Reasons for network latency
speed of light delays (~ 10 ms of delay per time zone)
light trough fibre : 200 k km/s, 44 835 km / 24 = 1 868 km => 9,34 ms
delays from the computers themselves
software (OS) and network Hardware
delays from the network : the routers (gateway) work
ethernet to the LAN : 10 ms
modem on phone system : 100 ms
transcontinental transfers + 60-150 ms
intercontinental latencies + 250-500 ms
