Question

How can the effect of jitter be compensated in computer network?

Answer 1

Knowing jitter is an inherent flaw in networks, there are systems in place to compensate for this. The main system is buffering. This provides a literal “buffer” time for covering jitter. This will ensure there is no noticeable difference in the quality of streaming, loading, or downloading.

Network jitter is difficult to solve due to unpredictability. This is what makes its effects so visible. Ensuring a quality network connection, enough bandwidth, and predictable latency can help reduce network jitter.
