Latency Effect on Throughput Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Throughput (T) is:

\[ T = \frac{B}{L} \]

Where:

Latency Effect on Throughput: Refers to the relationship between the delay in data transmission (latency) and the rate at which data is successfully transferred (throughput). High latency can significantly reduce throughput, as it increases the time it takes for data to travel from the source to the destination. This relationship is crucial in network performance, as optimizing both latency and throughput is essential for efficient data communication. Understanding this effect helps in designing better network systems and improving data transfer rates.

Let's say the number of bits transferred (B) is 1000 bits and the latency (L) is 0.5 seconds. Using the formula:

\[ T = \frac{1000}{0.5} = 2000 \, \text{bits/second} \]

So, the throughput (T) is 2000 bits/second.
