  Comparison of latency and bandwidth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Latency and bandwidth together determine the "speed" of a connection, and the "speed" of a connection can vary widely depending on your needs.
Latency is fairly low (typically about a quarter of a second) and the size of an average web page (around 30–100 kilobytes) will transfer in 10–30 seconds.
Although the bandwidth of a satellite connection can be very high and very economical, the latency added by the round trip through the satellite (1–2 seconds) makes low-latency Internet tasks such as network gaming a very bad experience.

 Ars Technica: Understanding Bandwidth and Latency - Page 1 - (11/2002)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
From the bygone debates over DDR vs. RDRAM to the current controversy over Apple's DDR implementations, one issue is commonly misunderstood in most discussions of memory technology: the nature of the relationship between bandwidth and latency.
In this view bandwidth is seen as an intrinsic, fixed property of the transmitting medium itself, a number that's unaffected by the vagaries of the transmitters at either end of the medium.
The peak bandwidth of a bus is the most easily calculated, the largest (read: the most marketing friendly), and the least relevant bandwidth number that you can use to quantify the amount of data that two components (i.e.

A few people suggested that I might not have enough upstream bandwidth, but when I checked my throughput rates using the speed test at DSL Reports, it came back with a rating of 344 Kbps on the upstream and 747 kbps on the downstream.
Bandwidth is normally expressed in bits per second and refers to the total amount of data that can be transferred within one second.
Latency is a byproduct of the electrical characteristics of the circuit, and it's also affected by routing that an ISP sets (i.e., if your data packet has to travel further, latency increases).

 LostCircuits, Memory Reviews
We have evaluated the impact of DRAM latency and memory bus frequency on bandwidth and gaming performance in a step by step performance evaluation from 100 to 166 MHz memory bus frequency with varying latency settings.
A twist of this situation is that Rambus is not an interface that is friendly to overclockers, on the other hand, the standard SDRAM interface has evolved to a degree where system bus frequencies in excess of 150 MHz are no longer impossible.
This is of utmost importance, since otherwise the clock speed delta would mask the change in performance caused by the parameters we are actually interested in: bandwidth and latency.

 Latency vs Ping
The way Half-Life determines the "latency" value shown in its scoreboard is different than what users generally call "ping".
The word latency is a deliberate decision to emphasize that the value shown is a better representation of actual network play than a mere ping.
So the road to better latency values involves trying to improve your framerate as much as possible, as well as playing on servers that are running at decent ticrates.

 InfoStor - Bandwidth vs. latency in SAN extensions
Latency is simply "delay." In this context, it is the delay that a signal receives when traveling from the initiator (in the primary data center) to the target (at the mirror site).
The total time has two components: latency (while waiting for the request to travel to the target and waiting for the first byte of data to travel back) and the transmission time (total amount of data divided by the link bandwidth).
If the latency is small (it is essentially zero in the data center), the throughput is approximately equal to the bandwidth.

If you don't quite have enough bandwidth, you can queue stuff up and chances are most of it'll get through eventually--by which time half your apps will have timed out and you'd have been better just dropping the packets anyway.

 It's the Latency, Stupid
What most end-users don't know is that in the process of transferring those big files their computers have to send back and forth hundreds of little control messages, so the performance of small data packets directly affects the performance of everything else they do on the network.
Bandwidth is important not only for it's own sake, but also for it's effect on overall latency.
"Network latency in and of itself is not material to game playing; at least 70 to 90 percent of latency problems we see are due to the end points: the modems," he says.

 [H]ard|OCP - BEYOND DDR?
Reducing latencies by means of faster strobes is technically difficult and economically not viable, particularly if the bus speed is increased to approach 200 MHz.
Between 1994 and 1997, the discrepancy between the memory bus frequency and the clock speed of the processor was about 3 times with internal clock multipliers of 3 or 3.5 depending on the CPU speed grade.
Consequently, even if the maximum bandwidth achievable (peak bandwidth) by Rambus PC800 memory is 50% higher than the peak bandwidth of PC133 SDRAM, the average bandwidth under real life conditions is substantially less since random access-related latency becomes the main limiting factor.
