<em>The term Latency and Jitter are contradictory in nature. These two terms are closely related to Communication in the network.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
The communication from one system to the other system is sent by any <em>supporting protocol in the form of packets. </em>
So Latency calculates the time that each packet has taken to reach the <em>destination from the source. </em>
Whereas Jitter defines the time delay of a packet to reach the destination. <em>Apart from time delay, it also shows the new route to travel, indicates network congestion, etc.</em>
Jitter refers to deviations in displacement of or deviation in the signal pulses in a HF digital signal. Latency refers to the time interval between the response and stimulation or the basic delay between the effect and cause in service flow.
