The performance of a client-server system is strongly influenced by two major network characteristics: the bandwidth of the network (how many bits/sec it can transport) and the latency (how many seconds it takes for the first bit to get from the client to the server). Give an example of a network that exhibits high bandwidth but also high latency. Also give an example of one that has both low bandwidth and low latency. Justify/explain your answers. (

A bandwidth is the maximum rate of transfer of data across a given path

Latency refers to the delay of data to travel or move between a source and destination

An example of a high bandwidth and high latency network is the Satellite Internet connectivity.

An example of a low bandwidth and latency network is the telephone system connection.

Explanation:

Solution

Bandwidth: Bandwidth determines how fast data can be transferred for example, how many bits/sec it can transport.

Latency: It refers to the delay or how long it takes for data to travel between it's source and destination.

An example of a high bandwidth and high latency network is the Satellite internet connection.

Satellite internet connection: This is responsible for the connectivity of several systems, it has a high bandwidth, since satellite are in space, due to distance it has a high latency.

So, satellite internet connection is compensated with high latency and high bandwidth.

An example of a low bandwidth and low latency network is the Telephony network.

Telephone/telephony internet connection: This connection does not have much data for transfer. it has low size audio files of which a low bandwidth range. also for both end or end users to understand and talk to each other, it has low latency.
