network transmission delay

Transmission delay in networking is the time it takes to push all the bits of a data packet onto the network medium. It is a function of the packet's length and the bandwidth of the network. Transmission delay is independent of the distance between the sender and receiver and is solely concerned with the time required to get the data onto the link. It is a critical factor in determining the overall latency of a network, especially in high-speed networks where large volumes of data are transmitted[1][2][3].
