Exam N10-007 topic 1 question 770 discussion

Latency Vs Jitter: In a nutshell, latency is a term used to outline the amount of time it takes for a packet to transfer to its destination. In contrast, jitter is the delay that varies over time when the signal wanes or jitters. From what I have seen in these practice questions is that *fluctuations are mentioned, Comptia wants Jitter as the answer. *When a delay is mentioned, the answer is Latency

The given answer is correct. People just read the question properly. "The application team has asked the network team to monitor network performance and create alerts if fluctuations in the round-trip time for that traffic occur". It is asking for alerts to be created based on fluctuations.

So the network team is going to monitor for jitter but not latency.. how stupid..

Jitter is another word for inconsistency. It refers to the fluctuation in the latency of the packets flowing through the network. In other words, it is a variance in delay between packets sent over the network,

"Latency measures the time it takes for data to travel from its source to its destination across the network. Typically administrators measure latency as a round-trip (with round-trip time), the time it takes for a packet to travel to its destination and back to the source. A high round-trip delay indicates that the network is not performing at its best. Latency is effectively a measurement of delay." Latency is used to measure the ROUND TRIP, I'm going with latency here. Regardless of what CompTIA decides the answer is, in the real world Latency is what you would measure.

Aren't round trips associated with latency, I don't get how jitter has anything to do with measuring network performance
