Flashcards
Bandwidth and latency
Cards in this deck (13)
- 1What does using a network connection involve transferring?- Bits between 2 devices
- 2What is network performance?- How well that network can transfer the bits
- 3What are 2 measurements to describe the performance of a network connection?- BAndwidth
- Latency - 4What is bandwidth a measurement of?Capacity
- 5What is bandwidth?the number of bits that can go through the network connection in 1 second.
- 6What is bandwidth measured in?BIts per second (bps)
- 7What is latency a measurement of?- Delay
- 8What is latency?The time in milliseconds between a bit leaving from one device and arriving at the other
- 9What is latency measured in?Milliseconds (ms)
- 10For streaming videos from yt what do you need and why?- HIgh bandwidth connection
- otherwise the video will keep pausing as your computer waits for more bits to arrive - 11For getting quick results online, what do you need and why?- Low latency network connection
- information is travelling in both directions so it needs to arrive quickly - 12What bandwidth and latency leads to the best network ( suitable for online gaming)- high bandwidth
- low latency - 13What variations (bandwidth and latency) are bad from a user's point of view?- low bandwidth
- high latency
