2. Speedtest.net - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedtest.net

   Speedtest. Speedtest.net, also known as Speedtest by Ookla, is a web service that provides free analysis of Internet access performance metrics, such as connection data rate and latency. It is the flagship product of Ookla, a web testing and network diagnostics company founded in 2006, and based in Seattle, Washington, United States. [5] [6]

3. ping (networking utility) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_(networking_utility)

   ping is a computer network administration software utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It is available for virtually all operating systems that have networking capability, including most embedded network administration software. Ping measures the round-trip time for messages sent from the ...

4. Packet loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_loss

   Packet loss occurs when one or more packets of data travelling across a computer network fail to reach their destination. Packet loss is either caused by errors in data transmission, typically across wireless networks, [1] [2] or network congestion. [3] : 36 Packet loss is measured as a percentage of packets lost with respect to packets sent.

5. Round-trip delay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-trip_delay

   Round-trip delay. In telecommunications, round-trip delay ( RTD) or round-trip time ( RTT) is the amount of time it takes for a signal to be sent plus the amount of time it takes for acknowledgement of that signal having been received. This time delay includes propagation times for the paths between the two communication endpoints. [1]

6. Bufferbloat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufferbloat

   Bufferbloat is a cause of high latency and jitter in packet-switched networks caused by excess buffering of packets. Bufferbloat can also cause packet delay variation (also known as jitter), as well as reduce the overall network throughput. When a router or switch is configured to use excessively large buffers, even very high-speed networks can ...

7. Hop (networking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hop_(networking)

   Hop (networking) An illustration of hops in a wired network (assuming a 0-origin hop count [1] ). The hop count between the computers in this case is 2. In wired computer networking, including the Internet, a hop occurs when a packet is passed from one network segment to the next. Data packets pass through routers as they travel between source ...

8. Interplanetary Internet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interplanetary_Internet

   Internet. The interplanetary Internet is a conceived computer network in space, consisting of a set of network nodes that can communicate with each other. [1] [2] These nodes are the planet's orbiters and landers, and the Earth ground stations. For example, the orbiters collect the scientific data from the Curiosity rover on Mars through near ...

9. Latency (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(engineering)

   Latency (engineering) Latency, from a general point of view, is a time delay between the cause and the effect of some physical change in the system being observed. Lag, as it is known in gaming circles, refers to the latency between the input to a simulation and the visual or auditory response, often occurring because of network delay in online ...
