Solution: Determine the performance metrics

Solution: Determine the performance metrics

(upbeat music) - [Instructor] First, we can think about performance metrics learned and pick up the best one for the problem. Let's pick up latency, packet loss, and throughput here. The latency over time doesn't show the amount of data, so it is not the right metric. The packet loss is also an irrelevant metric, as it does not reflect the amount of data transferred over time. The amount of web traffic in terms of the amount of data transferred over time in megabits per second can be referred to as throughput, show in this chart. So the throughput metric should be the one we're looking for.
