Latency is important when someone is directly interacting with another computer, as the amount of lag between the two computers can make some tasks very difficult (such as editing a file). Bandwidth, on the other hand, is not concerned with latency. When downloading a large file, it may be perfectly acceptable to have a 3-4 second wait before the file begins to download. Networking latency is the time it takes for a single packet to go from your computer, to another host and back. Latency is generally measured in milliseconds.
(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.
