 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +Jitter refers to variation in packet delay across a network path.
 +
 +In the context of [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:internet_qos]], Jitter affects traffic that depends on regular packet delivery, including voice, video, telemetry, and time-sensitive operational observations.
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//variation in network delay experienced by packets in a packet stream//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +Generalised from Internet QoS terminology and IP packet delay variation terminology.
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +Jitter is not latency itself. Latency describes delay. Jitter describes variation in delay.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A stream with stable latency has low jitter. A stream with rapidly changing delay has high jitter.
