Is the latency too much different from jitter as I have learned about jitter that its a jerk on your network

Latency is a delay from the event to the moment you know about the event. For example, you want to know the location of a mobile beacon, but you know it with a 100ms delay - 100ms latency.

Jitter is a random process of having different delay in getting the data. Sometimes - 90ms latency. Sometimes - 110ms latency.

Sometimes, jitter is not an issue, when you have 100ms average latency and 10ms jitter. But you may have 1ms latency and 200ms latency. Average latency is still the same - ~100ms. However, jitter can easily make such location data nearly useless.
