What is network latency and what should you look for in a Wireshark capture to determine latency?

What will be an ideal response?


Network latency refers to the amount of time it takes a packet to get from one point on the network to another. Low latency on a network usually means there are no delays. High latency indicates a slow network with significant delays. Looking at normal network traffic in a Wireshark capture, you should notice that each packet transmits in less than 1 millisecond, which is expected behavior and considered low latency. When you look at a Wireshark trace file and see traffic that is taking in excess of 1 second to transmit, you could well be looking at a problem.
