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.

Multicast
Multicast is a communication method that delivers the same data to a selected group of receivers instead of to one receiver or everyone. It reduces duplicate transmission through network-based replication…
Protocol
Multipath
Multipath is a radio propagation phenomenon in which transmitted energy arrives at the receiver over multiple reflected, refracted, or scattered paths. The resulting interference can change the observed signal quality.
Concept/Framework
Natural Language Processing
Natural Language Processing is the branch of artificial intelligence concerned with processing human language data — text or speech — so that software can classify it, extract meaning from it,…
Concept/Framework
Neighbor Exchange
Neighbor exchange is the protocol process by which adjacent routing peers advertise, learn, and maintain reachability information. It is the control-plane dialogue that supports path selection and routing convergence.

Network Architecture
Network architecture is the design of the logical and physical arrangement of networking components and control functions used to deliver connectivity. It defines how traffic moves, where policy is enforced,…
Concept/Framework
Network Convergence
Network convergence is the period and process by which network devices update routes or state until all relevant nodes agree on the current forwarding topology.
Concept/Framework
Network Densification
Network Densification is the increase in the number of network nodes, access points, or base stations in a given area to improve capacity or coverage.
Operations
Network Design
Network design is the process of specifying the structure, components, and control logic of a network so it can meet defined requirements. It includes topology, segmentation, capacity, routing, and operational…
Concept/Framework
Network Function Virtualization
Network Function Virtualization is the implementation of network functions in software on general-purpose compute rather than dedicated purpose-built appliances.
Software
Network Infrastructure
Network infrastructure is the collection of physical and logical components that form the transport and control base of a network. It includes switching, routing, cabling, wireless access, edge devices, and…
