In spin class the other day, the teacher said something that really resonated with me: There are a lot of things in life you can't control, but do your very best at what you can.. He's right.And I try to remember that when it comes to my careerâand more specifically, the job hunt. We all want to land our dream job.
The term latency refers to any of several kinds of delays typically incurred in the processing of network data. A low latency network connection is one that experiences small delay times, while a high latency connection suffers from long delays.
(1) In general, the period of time that one component in a system is spinning its wheels waiting for another component. Latency, therefore, is wasted time. For example, in accessing data on a disk, latency is defined as the time it takes to position the proper sector under the read/write head. (2) In networking, the amount of time it takes a packet to travel from source to destination. Together, latency and bandwidth define the speed and capacity of a network. (3) In VoIP terminology, latency refers to a delay in packet delivery. VoIP latency is a service issue that is usually based on physical distance, hops, or voice to data conversion.
