The effective of a data communications system depends on four fundamental characteristics:
delivery, accuracy. timeliness, and jitter.
- Delivery: The system must deliver data to the correct destination; Data must be received by the intended device or user
- Accuracy: The system must deliver the data accurately; Data that have been altered in transmission and left uncorrected are unusable
- Timeliness: The system must deliver data in a timely manner; Data delivered late are useless
- Jitter: Jitter refers to the variation in the packet arrival time; It is the uneven delay in the delivery of audio or video packets
