Description: Network latency monitoring is the process of measuring the delay in data transmission across a network. This latency refers to the time it takes for a data packet to travel from its source to its destination, measured in milliseconds (ms). Latency can be influenced by various factors, such as the physical distance between devices, network congestion, the type of connection used, and the quality of the hardware involved. Monitoring this latency is crucial to ensure optimal performance of applications and services that rely on the network, especially in environments where speed and efficiency are essential, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time communications. Monitoring tools allow network administrators to identify latency issues, optimize network performance, and enhance the end-user experience. Additionally, latency monitoring can help anticipate and prevent problems before they affect users, enabling proactive management of network infrastructure.
