Did You Know (Latency vs.Bandwidth)

The term latency-refers to any of several kinds of delays typically incurred in processing of network data.
While
the term Bandwidth in computer networking refers to the data rate supported by a network connection or interface.
Although the theoretical peak bandwidth of a network connection is fixed according to the technology used, the actual bandwidth you will obtain varies over time and is affected by high latencies. Excessive latency creates bottlenecks that prevent data from filling the network pipe, thus decreasing effective bandwidth. The impact of latency on network bandwidth can be temporary (lasting a few seconds) or persistent (constant) depending on the source of the delays.
