listen to exam instructions amber, a network administrator, is conducting voip training for other it team members. melanie, a new team member, is confused about the difference between latency and jitter. what is the best way to explain the difference?
The best way to explain the difference is ''Jitter is the up and down variation in latency''.
Explain the difference between latency and jitter ?
The main difference between jitter and latency is that jitter is defined as a shift in the amount of latency, whereas latency is defined as a delay caused by the network.
It's crucial to frequently check jitter and delay since they have a detrimental effect on network performance.
Jitter should ideally be less than 30ms. Network latency shouldn't exceed 150 ms one-way, and packet loss shouldn't be more than 1%.
In a nutshell, jitter is an unintentional increase in latency or ping rate. When the rate fluctuates, it shakes the signal and increases the ping rate or latency on the way to and from the server, slowing down signal transmission and possibly leading to data loss. This is known as jitter.
