Bandwidth, Latency and Collision

Question 1

Bandwidth

Answer 1

maximum amount of data transmitted over a network connection in a given amount of time, typically measured in bits per second (bps) or bytes per second (Bps).

Question 2

Latency

Answer 2

time delay between when a data packet sent from one device on network to when received by another device on same network, typically measured in milliseconds (ms).

Question 3

Collision

Answer 3

when two or more devices on a network attempt to transmit data at same time, causing data packets to collide with each other and resulting in the data loss.
