Network Performance

Network performance is primarily measured from an end-user perspective (i.e. quality of network services delivered to the user). Broadly, network performance is measured by reviewing the statistics and metrics from the following network components:

• Network bandwidth or capacity - Available data transfer
• Network throughput - Amount of data successfully transferred over the network in a given time
• Network delay, latency and jittering - Any network issue causing packet transfer to be slower than usual
• Data loss and network errors - Packets dropped or lost in transmission and delivery
