  2. Latency (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(engineering)

    Latency, from a general point of view, is a time delay between the cause and the effect of some physical change in the system being observed. Lag, as it is known in gaming circles, refers to the latency between the input to a simulation and the visual or auditory response, often occurring because of network delay in online games. [1]

  3. Input lag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_lag

    Input lag or input latency is the amount of time that passes between sending an electrical signal and the occurrence of a corresponding action.. In video games the term is often used to describe any latency between input and the game engine, monitor, or any other part of the signal chain reacting to that input, though all contributions of input lag are cumulative.

  4. The Uncensored Library - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Uncensored_Library

    An example of a readable book [b]. Each of the nine countries covered by the library, as well as Reporters without Borders, has an individual wing, containing a number of articles, [1] available in English and the original language the article was written in. [2] The texts within the library are contained in in-game book items, which can be opened and placed on stands to be read by multiple ...

  5. Nagle's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagle's_algorithm

    The RFC describes what Nagle calls the "small-packet problem", where an application repeatedly emits data in small chunks, frequently only 1 byte in size. Since TCP packets have a 40-byte header (20 bytes for TCP, 20 bytes for IPv4 ), this results in a 41-byte packet for 1 byte of useful information, a huge overhead.

  6. Lazy loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_loading

    Prior to being established as a web standard, web frameworks were generally used to implement lazy loading. One of these is Angular.Since lazy loading decreases bandwidth and subsequently server resources, it is a strong contender to implement in a website, especially in order to improve user retention by having less delay when loading the page, which may also improve search engine ...

  7. Group delay and phase delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_delay_and_phase_delay

    The group delay and phase delay properties of a linear time-invariant (LTI) system are functions of frequency, giving the time from when a frequency component of a time varying physical quantity—for example a voltage signal—appears at the LTI system input, to the time when a copy of that same frequency component—perhaps of a different physical phenomenon—appears at the LTI system output.

  8. Transmission delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_delay

    In other words, this is the delay caused by the data-rate of the link. Transmission delay is a function of the packet's length and has nothing to do with the distance between the two nodes. This delay is proportional to the packet's length in bits. It is given by the following formula: = / seconds. where:

  9. End-to-end delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_delay

    End-to-end delay or one-way delay (OWD) refers to the time taken for a packet to be transmitted across a network from source to destination. It is a common term in IP network monitoring , and differs from round-trip time (RTT) in that only path in the one direction from source to destination is measured.
