latency and jitter

About this tag
Latency and jitter are key performance metrics for cloud services and network connectivity. Recent threads on WindowsForum discuss how undersea cable cuts in the Red Sea have caused higher-than-normal latency and intermittent service degradation for Microsoft Azure customers. The damage to multiple fiber-optic cables forces traffic onto longer alternate routes, increasing round-trip times and potential jitter. These disruptions highlight the vulnerability of global cloud infrastructure to physical cable damage and the importance of network redundancy. Discussions cover the impact on Azure users, including slower data transfers and degraded application performance, as well as the ongoing rerouting and repair efforts by carriers and cloud operators.
