Q.1 Solution:
Packet ID Time AT Point A Time AT Point B Latency Jitter 1 TA1= 3 sec TB2= 6 sec L1=TB1–TA1=> 6-3 = 3 sec — 2 TA2 = 7 sec TB2 = 12 sec L2=TB2–TA2=> 12-7 = 5 sec J1 = L2-L1=> 5-3 = 2 sec 3 TA3 = 15 sec TB3 = 22 sec L3=TB3–TA3=> 22-15 = 7 sec J2 = L3-L2=> 7-5 = 2 sec Latency is a term used to outline the amount of time it takes for a packet to transfer to its destination.
Whereas, jitter is the delay that varies over time when the signal weakens.Q.2 Solution:

@zareen said in CS432 Assignment 2 Solution and Discussion:
latency
Latency is sometimes considered the time a packet takes to travel from one endpoint to another, the same as the one-way delay.
More often, latency signifies the round-trip time. Round-trip time encompasses the time it takes for a packet to be sent plus the time it takes for it to return back. This does not include the time it takes to process the packet at the destination.
Network monitoring tools can determine the precise round-trip time on a given network. Round-trip time can be calculated from the source since it tracks the time the packet was sent and computes the difference upon acknowledgement of return. However, a delay between two endpoints can be difficult to determine, as the sending endpoint does not have information on the time of arrival at the receiving endpoint.

Jitter Calculation
Here’s an example. We have collected 5 samples with the following latencies: 136, 184, 115, 148, 125 (in that order). The average latency is 142 - (add them, divide by 5). The ‘Jitter’ is calculated by taking the difference between samples.136 to 184, diff = 48
184 to 115, diff = 69
115 to 148, diff = 33
148 to 125, diff = 23
(Notice how we have only 4 differences for 5 samples).
The total difference is (48+69+33+23=173) - so the jitter is 173 / 4, or 43.25.We use this same mechanism no matter how many samples you have - it works on 5, 50 or 5000.

@zareen said in CS432 Assignment 2 Solution and Discussion:
jitter
Before we go please understand the jitter.
Jitter is the amount of variation in latency/response time, in milliseconds. Reliable connections consistently report back the same latency over and over again. Lots of variation (or ‘jitter’) is an indication of problems.Jitter shows up as different symptoms, depending on the application you’re using. Web browsing is fairly resistant to jitter, but any kind of streaming media (voice, video, music) is quite suceptible to Jitter.
Jitter is a symptom of other problems. It’s an indicator that there might be something else wrong. Often, this ‘something else’ is bandwidth saturation (sometimes called congestion) - or not enough bandwidth to handle the traffic load.
