Bandwidth, Latency and Collision

Question 1

Bandwidth

Answer 1

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

Question 2

Latency

Answer 2

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

Question 3

Collision

Answer 3

when two or more devices attempt to transmit data at same time, causing data packets to collide with each other which then cause data loss.
