They need to communicate and pass information to each other to provide services, just like team members talking to each other to complete a task.

This delay is what we call "network latency," which is similar to team members experiencing delays in their communication that hinder their ability to get things done quickly and smoothly. The same ideology in computer networks: Network latency is the result of interconnected components that allow the Internet to facilitate various activities on online platforms. These components include computers, servers, modems, routers, fibre optic cables, firewalls, an...
