What causes network latency in data centers?

Network latency in data centers is caused by delays in data transmission between devices or across networks. Common triggers for latency include physical distance, the number of network hops, congestion on switches or routers, inefficient routing, and packet processing delays.

Hardware limitations, such as slower network interface cards or overloaded servers, also contribute to the issue.

Additionally, network protocols, firewalls, and security inspections can introduce processing delays. Latency can be exacerbated in multi-tenant environments or when connecting to distant cloud providers.
