Pearson 1CP2 - 4.1 - Network Speed and Latency

What is the term we use to measure the capacity of a network — the maximum volume of data that can be transferred per second?

• Latency
• Throughput
• Frequency
• Bandwidth

What is the term we use to describe the time between the data being transmitted and the moment it reaches its destination, measured in milliseconds?

• Throughput
• Delay
• Latency
• Bandwidth

What is latency measured in?

• centimeters
• decibels
• gigabytes
• milliseconds

How would we describe the latency of a network where it takes a notable amount of time for data to reach its destination?

• High latency
• Low latency
• Medium latency
• No latency

What is the common term often used for latency?

• Delay

• Halt
• Lag

• Pause

How can lots of data being sent at once affect bandwidth?

• It can improve data security
• It can cause congestion and slow down transmission speed.
• It can enhance network stability
• It can increase bandwidth efficiency

Which is more important for a video call?

• Latency

• Bandwidth

What does 100 Mbps mean?

• 100 Mbps means 100 megabytes per second.
• 100 Mbps means 100 megabits per second.
• 100 Mbps means 100 millibits per second.
• 100 Mbps means 100 megapixels per second.

What does 100 Kbps mean?

• 100 kilobits per second
• 100 kilobits per minute
• 100 kilobytes per second
• 100 kilobits per hour

What do we call the speed at which data is transmitted from one device to another and is measured in bits per second?

• data transmission rate
• data transfer speed
• data transfer rate
• data flow velocity
