Scalability

Spectral Efficiency Spectral Efficiency is the amount of useful information transmitted per unit of spectrum, usually expressed as bits per second per hertz. It measures how effectively spectrum is converted into usable… Concept/Framework Spot Beam Spot Beam is a narrow, focused satellite or radio beam that concentrates energy on a limited geographic area. It provides localized coverage with higher directional gain. Hardware Stateful Inspection Stateful Inspection is security inspection that evaluates traffic in the context of an existing connection or session state. It uses remembered context to guide policy. Software Stateless Communication Stateless Communication is communication in which each message is handled independently without relying on stored session context. Protocol Subnet A subnet is a portion of a network’s address space that has been divided into a smaller routable segment. It is used to group hosts, control traffic, and simplify administration. Concept/Framework Subnet Mask Subnet Mask is a bitmask used to separate the network and host portions of an IP address in IPv4 and similar address structures. It defines the subnet boundary. Protocol Switching Switching is the process of forwarding frames, packets, or flows across a network according to addressing or forwarding rules. It is used to connect endpoints and segments inside a network… Concept/Framework Throughput Throughput is the actual amount of data delivered successfully through a system or link over a period of time. It measures realized performance, not just theoretical capacity. Concept/Framework Topology Topology is the pattern of interconnection among nodes in a system. In networking, it describes how devices and links are arranged so traffic and failure effects can be understood structurally. Concept/Framework Traffic Steering Traffic steering is the control process that directs traffic toward selected paths, servers, or service points according to policy, state, or performance conditions. It is used to optimize delivery, locality,… Concept/Framework
