| **Latency** is a networking term to describe the total time it takes a data packet to travel from one node to another. In other contexts, when a data packet is transmitted and returned back to its source, the total time for the round trip is known as latency. Latency refers to time interval or delay when a system component is waiting for another system component to do something. This duration of time is called **latency**. | **Latency** is a networking term to describe the total time it takes a data packet to travel from one node to another.
