Latency Issues Quiz

What is network latency?

• The amount of data that can be transferred in a network

• The number of devices connected to a network

• The time it takes for data to travel from one point to another in a network.

• The speed at which data is transmitted in a network

What are the factors that can cause network latency?

• network congestion, distance, hardware limitations, packet loss

• network security, firewall settings

• low bandwidth, high latency

• incorrect hardware, software limitations

How is network latency measured?

• By measuring the bandwidth of the network.

• By counting the number of hops between the source and destination.

• By analyzing the signal strength of the network.

• By calculating the round trip time (RTT) of data packets.

What are some common techniques to reduce network latency?

• Optimizing network protocols, using CDNs, implementing caching mechanisms, reducing packet size, and using load balancing techniques.

• Increasing packet size, using outdated network protocols, not implementing caching mechanisms, not using load balancing techniques

What is server latency?

• The time it takes for a server to establish a connection with a client.

• The time delay between a server's request and the client's response.

• The time it takes for a server to process a request.

• The time delay between a client's request and the server's response.

What are the main causes of server latency?

• network congestion, hardware limitations, inefficient code, high server load

• high network congestion, software limitations, inefficient code, low server load

• hardware capabilities, network efficiency, optimized code, low server load

• low server load, software limitations, efficient code, low network congestion

How can server latency be minimized?

• By increasing server load and database queries

• By optimizing network infrastructure, using CDNs, implementing caching mechanisms, reducing server load, and optimizing database queries.

• By using outdated network infrastructure

• By disabling caching mechanisms

What is the difference between network latency and server latency?

• Network latency is the delay in processing requests, while server latency is the delay in data transmission.

• Network latency is the delay in data transmission, while server latency is the delay in processing requests.

• Network latency and server latency are the same thing.

• Network latency is the delay in data transmission, while server latency is the delay in network congestion.

How does latency affect online gaming?

• Latency affects online gaming by causing delays and lag.

• Latency has no effect on online gaming.

• Latency improves the performance of online gaming.

• Latency only affects single-player games, not online multiplayer games.

What are the potential solutions to latency issues in online gaming?

• Increasing server capacity, upgrading hardware, using faster internet connection

• Reducing the number of players, limiting game features, decreasing graphics quality

• Optimizing network infrastructure, using CDNs, implementing traffic shaping and prioritization techniques, utilizing edge computing

• Implementing stricter game rules, penalizing high latency players, banning players with high latency
