Network latency refers to delays in data transmission between servers, impacting the speed and responsiveness of applications.

Description

Network latency is the time it takes for data to travel from one point to another across a network, often measured in milliseconds. High latency can cause significant delays in web page loading, application responsiveness, and server communication. Latency can result from various factors, such as physical distance between server locations, network congestion, routing inefficiencies, and hardware issues. In cloud-based infrastructures, latency can be especially critical if servers are located far from end-users. Reducing network latency involves optimizing routing paths, upgrading network infrastructure, and using technologies such as content delivery networks (CDNs) to serve content closer to end-users. For on-premises servers, localizing data and reducing unnecessary hops between routers and switches can decrease latency. Monitoring network performance regularly and ensuring sufficient bandwidth is available to meet demand can help avoid latency issues. High-speed internet connections, fiber optics, and advanced networking protocols can also help reduce latency and improve server performance.
