Understanding the difference between latency and throughput is crucial for optimizing network performance. Latency refers to the delay in data transfer, while throughput measures the amount of data that can pass through a network in a given time period. Factors such as geographical distance, faulty hardware, increased traffic load, and poorly written applications can all affect latency and throughput. Optimizing these metrics is essential for creating a stable and reliable network infrastructure.
