Route Reflection
Route Reflection is a BGP technique that allows one router to advertise routes to other routers within the same routing domain, reducing the need for full-mesh peering among internal BGP…
Protocol
Route Summarization
Route Summarization is the aggregation of multiple specific routes into a broader prefix that represents the same destination space at a higher level, reducing routing table size and protocol overhead.
Operations
Routing
Routing is the network function that computes and maintains paths between sources and destinations. It uses topology, policy, and metrics to choose one or more next hops for traffic.
Concept/Framework
Routing Metric
A routing metric is a numeric or rule-based measure used by a routing system to evaluate and compare paths. It helps determine which route should be preferred when more than…
Concept/Framework
Routing Policy
Routing policy is the set of administrative rules that govern how routing information is processed, filtered, modified, and selected. It defines which paths are preferred and which advertisements are permitted.
Concept/Framework
Routing Protocol
A routing protocol is a protocol used by network devices to advertise, learn, and maintain reachability and path metrics. The information it exchanges is used to construct routing tables and…
Protocol
Routing Table
Routing Table is the stored set of destination prefixes, next hops, and related forwarding information used by a router or host. It drives forwarding decisions.
Software
Rural Broadband
Rural broadband is the provision of broadband access services in low-density or geographically challenging areas where standard deployment approaches may be less effective or more expensive. It is a service-delivery…
Service Model
Satellite Capacity
Satellite capacity is the amount of communications demand that a satellite system can serve within its technical and operational limits. It is bounded by spectrum, power, beam allocation, modulation, and…
Concept/Framework
Satellite Footprint Edge
Satellite Footprint Edge is the outer boundary of the geographic area covered by a satellite beam or service footprint, characterized by declining signal quality and increased sensitivity to propagation conditions.
