The following measures are often considered important:
- Bandwidth commonly measured in bits/second is the maximum rate that information can be transferred
- Throughput is the actual rate that information is transferred
- Latency the delay between the sender and the receiver decoding it, this is mainly a function of the signals travel time, and processing time at any nodes the information traverses
- Jitter variation in packet delay at the receiver of the information
- Error rate the number of corrupted bits expressed as a percentage or fraction of the total sent
