Latency

Latency or network delay is the overall amount of time it takes for information to be transmitted from the source to the destination in a data network.

Latency can affect the interaction between the participants on the call. If there is high latency, the caller and callee may begin talking over one another or they may believe the other end has disconnected. The highest recommended delay for latency is 150ms, after which the call may be impacted.
