Description: Jitter latency refers to the delay caused by variations in the arrival times of packets in a network. In an ideal environment, data packets are transmitted and received at regular intervals, allowing for smooth and uninterrupted communication. However, in practice, especially in data networks, these intervals can vary due to various factors such as network congestion, interference, or signal quality. This variability in packet arrival times can cause issues in time-sensitive applications, such as video conferencing, online gaming, or real-time audio streaming. Jitter latency is measured in milliseconds and is considered a critical indicator of connection quality. Low jitter indicates a stable connection, while high jitter can result in a poor user experience, with interruptions or delays in communication. Therefore, understanding and managing jitter latency is essential for optimizing network performance and ensuring a satisfactory user experience.
