What is bandwidth and latency?

Example of low latency and high bandwidth network?

A transcontinental fiber link might have many gigabits/sec of bandwidth , but the latency will also be high due to the speed of light propagation over thousands of KM.In constract a 56 kbps modem calling a computer in the same building has low bandwidth and low latency

What do mean by high bandwidth?

The biggest difference between high and low bandwidth is latency. The lower the bandwidth the more time the computer spends trying to download the data.

What problem can enabling compression present when using ssh to run remote X11 applications on a local display?

Compression can increase latency to an extent that may not be desirable for an X session forwarded over a high-bandwidth connection.

What does latency mean?

Latency is the amount of time that it takes for information from your computer to travel to the source. Latency should not be confused with bandwidth, as bandwidth measures how much data you can move in a given period of time, but not necessarily how fast it moves. For example, if I am connected to a computer in the next country, latency measures how long it takes for each letter that I type to travel to the other computer. Latency is important when someone is directly interacting with another computer, as the amount of "lag" between the two computers can make some tasks very difficult (such as editing a file). Bandwidth, on the other hand, is not concerned with latency. When downloading a large file, it may be perfectly acceptable to have a 3-4 second wait before the file begins to download.Networking latency is the time it takes for a single packet to go from your computer, to another host and back. Latency is generally measured in milliseconds. You can check the latency (also referred to as lag) by opening a command prompt and typing "ping "Example: ping www.google.comLatency varies based on many factors, such as physical distance to the host, network congestion, and quality of the connection. In a LAN environment latency to another LAN host is generally < 1msOver the Internet, via a good Internet connection, 30 - 80ms is typical to a server located in the same country (at least in the United States). Lower latency is always better.

Why broadband is needed when transferring music files across the Internet?

So it finish faster. A much higher latency but higher bandwidth method though is sneakernet.

Is throughput always less than bandwifth?

Throughput in megabits per second will always be equal to or less than the bandwidth in megabits per second (it can't be higher). Throughput decreases as latency increases. For instance if you send a file to your neighbor two houses down the latency should be very low (assuming you are on the same network). However, if you send it to another city the latency will be higher and while your bandwidth remains the same, your throughput will decrease due to the latency between the locations. Note that this can be improved by optimizing the TCP window size on your computers. There is a free TCP optimizer program available on the web if you search on that term.

What correlation does bandwidth have to throughput?

Bandwidth refers to the maximum data transfer capacity of a network connection, while throughput is the actual amount of data transmitted over that connection in a given time period. Generally, higher bandwidth can lead to higher throughput, but factors like network congestion, latency, and protocol overhead can affect this relationship. Therefore, while bandwidth sets the potential upper limit for throughput, real-world conditions often result in throughput being lower than the available bandwidth.

Latency and Latency are two ways of measuring speed?

CAS (column access strobe) Latency and RAS (row access strobe) Latency

When did The Latency end?

The Latency ended in 2011.

When was The Latency created?

The Latency was created in 2006.

How do you get rid of latency on starcraft?

Lag is followed up by latency. If you detect latency but not lag, then someone else has it.

What kind of memory is DDR2 RAM?

DDR2 RAM is SDRAM. It provides double the bandwidth of DDR RAM, but at a higher latency. DDR3 is much better than DDR2 performance-wise, and it uses less voltage.
