Network latency is the time it takes for a packet of data to travel from its source to its destination. It is usually measured in milliseconds. Network latency matters because it affects the performance of applications on the network. High latency can cause delays in sending and receiving data, resulting in poor user experience. Low latency, on the other hand, allows data to be sent and received quickly, resulting in a better user experience.
