What is Path Jitter?

Understanding Path Jitter

Path jitter refers to the variation in the delay of data packets traveling through a network. It is a measure of the inconsistency in packet delivery times along a specific network path. Jitter can impact real-time communication applications by causing packets to arrive out of order or with unpredictable delays. Monitoring and minimizing path jitter is essential for maintaining network performance and quality of service.
