 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +Latency represents the delay experienced by traffic as it moves through a network path.
 +
 +In the context of [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:internet_qos]], Latency reflects forwarding delay, queuing delay, transmission delay, propagation delay, and processing delay along the path.
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//network delay experienced by packet-switched traffic across a path or part of a path//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +Generalised from Internet QoS and IP performance terminology.
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +Latency is not throughput, bandwidth, jitter, packet loss, application response time, or DDS deadline behavior.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A health observation packet experiences lower latency when a network gives operational traffic preferred forwarding treatment.
