bandwidth vs latency
Bandwidth is how much per second. Latency is how long before the first byte. A fat pipe does not fix a chatty protocol.
What is bandwidth vs latency?
Bandwidth is throughput. Latency is delay. A page that makes 40 small sequential requests dies on latency even on a fast link. A video dies on bandwidth. Round trips matter more than payload size until the payload is large.
Why does bandwidth vs latency matter when vibe coding?
Models add a request per field and call it an API. On a phone each round trip is tens of milliseconds before any bytes. Name batching or fewer calls.
How do you do bandwidth vs latency?
Count round trips on the critical path. Batch or use one payload (a BFF). Do not sequential-await independent calls. Compress large bodies. Do not compress tiny ones.
How do you ask a model for bandwidth vs latency?
Reduce round trips for (screen). One request, or parallel independent requests, not a waterfall. Do not add a request per field. Latency matters more than payload until the payload is large.
What goes wrong with bandwidth vs latency?
Parallelizing 500 calls to dodge latency. You moved the pain into connection setup and the server’s queue. Cap it.
