Latency

Latency refers to the amount of time it takes for data to travel from its source to its destination across a network or system. It is typically measured in milliseconds (ms) and represents the delay experienced before a transfer of data begins following an instruction. In computing and telecommunications, lower latency is crucial for real-time applications such as video conferencing, online gaming, and financial trading, where even slight delays can impact performance and user experience.
