Understanding network performance metrics is crucial for ensuring a smooth and efficient online experience. Here's a breakdown of some key metrics:

  • Throughput: The amount of data that can be transmitted over a network in a given time frame. Measured in bits per second (bps) or bytes per second (Bps).
  • Latency: The time it takes for a packet to travel from the source to the destination. This metric is often measured in milliseconds (ms).
  • Bandwidth: The maximum data transfer rate of a network or internet connection. It's usually measured in bits per second (bps).
  • Packet Loss: The percentage of packets that are lost during transmission. High packet loss can cause disruptions and poor performance.
