Why does this matter operationally?
Performance
The measurable behaviour of a connectivity system under real operating conditions, including throughput, latency, jitter, and packet loss. Performance determines whether applications and control systems receive data at the speed and consistency their operations require.

Active Queue Management
Active Queue Management is a queue management approach that actively marks or drops packets before buffers become excessively full. It is designed to limit latency growth.
Operations
Active-Active Duplication
Active-active duplication is a high-availability design pattern in which multiple systems operate concurrently and provide the same or coordinated service. The duplicated components share workload and can continue service if…
