Description: Jitter statistics are metrics used to quantify the amount of jitter in a network, often used for performance analysis. Jitter refers to the variability in the arrival time of data packets across a network. In an ideal environment, data packets should arrive at their destination at regular intervals; however, in practice, they may experience variable delays due to various reasons such as network congestion, link quality, and interference. Jitter statistics allow network administrators to assess the stability and quality of the connection, which is especially critical in real-time applications like Voice over IP (VoIP) and video streaming. These metrics are typically expressed in milliseconds (ms) and may include values such as average jitter, maximum jitter, and minimum jitter, providing a clear view of the end-user experience. Low jitter indicates a more stable connection, while high jitter can result in interruptions and a poor user experience. Therefore, monitoring these statistics is essential to ensure optimal network performance and user satisfaction.
