Question

Name the factors that affect the performance of the network

Answer 1

The following measures are often considered important:

Bandwidth commonly measured in bits/second is the maximum rate that information can be transferred

Throughput is the actual rate that information is transferred

Latency the delay between the sender and the receiver decoding it, this is mainly a function of the signals travel time, and processing time at any nodes the information traverses

Jitter variation in packet delay at the receiver of the information

Error rate the number of corrupted bits expressed as a percentage or fraction of the total sent
