  latency
       
           1. The time it takes for a packet to cross
          a network connection, from sender to receiver.
       
          2. The period of time that a frame is held by a network device
          before it is forwarded.
       
          Two of the most important parameters of a communications
          channel are its latency, which should be low, and its
          bandwidth, which should be high.  Latency is particularly
          important for a synchronous protocol where each packet
          must be acknowledged before the next can be transmitted.
