Performance

Service Chaining Service Chaining is the ordered passing of traffic through multiple network or security services before it reaches its destination. Service Model Service Degradation Service Degradation is a reduction in the performance, quality, or reliability of a service without a complete outage. The service still operates but at reduced quality. Operations Service Handoff Service handoff is the operational process of moving an ongoing connection, session, or service flow from one network element or path to another while preserving continuity as much as possible.… Concept/Framework Service Level Objective Service Level Objective is a target level of service performance or reliability that a system or team is expected to meet. It defines an operational target by establishing measurable thresholds… Operations Service Mesh Service Mesh is an infrastructure layer that manages service-to-service communication, security, and observability in distributed applications. It adds policy control to east-west traffic. Software Shared Access Terminal Shared Access Terminal is a terminal that provides network access to multiple users, devices, or services through a common access point. Hardware Shortest Path First Shortest Path First is a routing approach that selects the shortest or lowest-cost route through a network graph by computing the minimum-cost path from available topology and metric information. Protocol Signal Masking Signal Masking is the use of spectral, timing, or power behavior that makes a signal harder to detect, identify, or isolate. It lowers signal observability. Operations Signal Strength Signal strength is the measured level of received radio energy at a receiving point. It is a basic indicator of link quality and propagation conditions. Concept/Framework Soft Real-Time Constraint Soft Real-Time Constraint is a timing requirement that should usually be met, but occasional misses reduce quality rather than causing immediate failure.
