Latency vs Throughput

What is Latency and Throughput and they are important for an application's performance measurement

[RayanMADAO]

Best to think of these concepts as a pipe with water flowing through it. Bandwidth is the max amount of water that can flow through it per unit time if the pipe was completely full, throughput is the more practical measurement that measures the actual amount of water flowing through the pipe per unit time

Throughput is not the "time" I guess, as you denote afterwards it is rate

[ecandil]

Very good explanation for someone that had too many questions about this subject. Amazing!!

[anestinjames]

[sourabhupadhyay]

Okay so latency is how long it takes someone to fly to a destination and back again. Throughput is how long it takes for the airline to transport a certain number of passengers from A to B

[adityarocker]

Can we say throughput as a "Speed of network" or something other 🤔

[thedrivetv]

What things you use to give online lectures ?, which software and devices ?

[devilsey]

That's why I love Indian guy tutorial :D

[forextrader]

Throughput is a rate of date to hit the serve but not a time

[sukshithshetty]

i guess you messed up throughput defination.
Throughput is the ( "number of successful transmitted packets/ time taken to transmit all the packets " )

[adityahpatel]

that is not throughtput. Totally incorrect

[rohitgeralifechannelhealth]

Incorrect explanation. The time taken by the request to get the data within the server is the wait time and is part of latency calculations. Throughput is the number of requests /total time.
