  2. ping (networking utility) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_(networking_utility)

    ping is a computer network administration software utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It is available in a wide range of operating systems – including most embedded network administration software.

  3. Bufferbloat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufferbloat

    Bufferbloat can also cause packet delay variation (also known as jitter), as well as reduce the overall network throughput. When a router or switch is configured to use excessively large buffers, even very high-speed networks can become practically unusable for many interactive applications like voice over IP (VoIP), audio streaming , online ...

  4. Jitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jitter

    Packet jitter is expressed as an average of the deviation from the network mean delay. [12] PDV is an important quality of service factor in assessment of network performance. Transmitting a burst of traffic at a high rate followed by an interval or period of lower or zero rate transmission may also be seen as a form of jitter, as it represents ...

  5. Packet delay variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_delay_variation

    In computer networking, packet delay variation (PDV) is the difference in end-to-end one-way delay between selected packets in a flow with any lost packets being ignored. [1] The effect is sometimes referred to as packet jitter , although the definition is an imprecise fit.

  6. Quality of service - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_service

    There are two principal approaches to QoS in modern packet-switched IP networks, a parameterized system based on an exchange of application requirements with the network, and a prioritized system where each packet identifies a desired service level to the network. Integrated services ("IntServ") implements the parameterized approach.

  7. Network performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_performance

    Jitter is the undesired deviation from true periodicity of an assumed periodic signal in electronics and telecommunications, often in relation to a reference clock source. Jitter may be observed in characteristics such as the frequency of successive pulses, the signal amplitude , or phase of periodic signals.

  8. Round-trip delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-trip_delay

    RTT is a measure of the amount of time taken for an entire message to be sent to a destination and for a reply to be sent back to the sender. The time to send the message to the destination in its entirety is known as the network latency, and thus RTT is twice the latency in the network plus a processing delay at the destination. The other ...

  9. Lag (video games) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lag_(video_games)

    Ping time is the network delay for a round trip between a player's client and the game server as measured with the ping utility or equivalent. Ping time is an average time measured in milliseconds (ms). [citation needed] The lower one's ping is, the lower the latency is and the less lag the player will experience.
