Network Performance Flashcards

The measure of how well a network operates, including speed, reliability, and efficiency.

The amount of data that can be transferred in a given time, typically measured in bits per second (bps).

More devices connected to a network can reduce performance due to increased data traffic.

The delay between sending and receiving data, often caused by distance or network congestion.

The frequency of errors in data transmission, which can affect network reliability and speed.

The physical or wireless medium used to transfer data, such as fibre optic cables or Wi-Fi.

Wired connections generally offer higher performance and reliability compared to wireless connections.

External factors like physical obstructions or other signals that can disrupt wireless network performance.

The amount of demand placed on a server, which can affect its ability to respond quickly to requests.

Occurs when too much data is being transmitted, leading to slower speeds and higher latency.
