I am struggling to draw a clear line between latency, bandwidth and throughput.
Can someone explain me in simple terms and with easy examples?

Latency indicates how long it takes for packets to reach their destination. Throughput is the term given to the number of packets that are processed within a specific period of time.
Throughput and bandwidth are closely related concepts, but they measure different aspects of a network. While throughput is the amount of data traveling successfully across a network, bandwidth is the maximum data volume capacity of a network.
There is a direct correlation between latency and throughput. They affect one another in the streaming process. Lower latency goes with faster throughput, and higher latency goes with slower throughput.
Throughput is the rate at which data is traversing a link. For example, take a look at the virtual router output below. The throughput rate is 643Kbps in each direction. Goodput is the rate at which useful data traverses a link.
