An intrusion detection system (IDS) inspects all inbound and outbound network activity and identifies suspicious patterns that may indicate a network or system attack from someone attempting to break into or compromise a system. There are several ways to categorize an IDS:
Civil inattention. Civil inattention is the process whereby strangers who are in close proximity demonstrate that they are aware of one another, without imposing on each other â a recognition of the claims of others to a public space, and of their own personal boundaries.
Definition - What does Latency mean? Latency is a networking term to describe the total time it takes a data packet to travel from one node to another. In other contexts, when a data packet is transmitted and returned back to its source, the total time for the round trip is known as latency. Latency refers to time interval or delay when a system component is waiting for another system component to do something. This duration of time is called latency.
