Q5. What is the difference between latency and delay?
A. Latency is the theoretical maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over a network connection in a given time period, while delay is the actual amount of data that is transmitted over a network connection in a given time period.
B. Latency is the time delay between the moment a data packet is sent from a source and the moment it is received at its destination, while delay includes different types of time delays such as queuing delay, processing delay, and transmission delay.
C. Latency and delay are the same thing and can be used interchangeably.
D. Latency is the measure of the real data transfer rate achieved over a network connection, while delay is the time it takes for a packet of data to travel from one point to another in a network.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Latency is the time delay between the moment a data packet is sent from a source and the moment it is received at its destination, while delay includes different types of time delays such as queuing delay, processing delay, and transmission delay.
