What is the difference between latency, bandwidth and throughput?

Water Analogy:

enter image description here

  • Latency is the amount of time it takes to travel through the tube.
  • Bandwidth is how wide the tube is.
  • The rate of water flow is the Throughput

Vehicle Analogy:

  • Vehicle travel time from source to destination is latency.
  • Types of Roadways are bandwidth.
  • Number of Vehicles traveling is throughput.
