Key Points Used for inter-domain routing between autonomous systems Supports policy-based route exchange and filtering Core protocol of internet connectivity Scales across large administrative domains Focuses on reachability and policy rather than only shortest path Definition BGP is a path-vector…
Key Points Connects access side to gateway or core side Carries aggregated traffic rather than direct user traffic Common in satellite and access architectures Handles capacity from many users or beams before reaching the core Operates between Edge Compute aggregation…
Key Points Uses software to control payload behavior Common in flexible satellite systems Can support reconfiguration in orbit Increases adaptability of communications payloads Payload behavior can be changed by software control without replacing hardware Used in flexible satellites, broadband systems,…
Key Points Processes workloads near the source of data Reduces dependence on centralized cloud locations Used for low-latency and local processing Often part of distributed Edge Compute architectures Runs applications, containers, or service functions locally Reduces backhaul load and latency…
Key Points Occurs when amplifier response is not linear Can create distortion and interference Important in RF and multi-carrier systems Often managed with backoff or linearization Produces compression, intermodulation, or spectral regrowth near operating limits Definition Nonlinear Amplification is amplifier…
Key Points Network Address Translation is defined for network or system use Translation between address spaces at a network boundary Used across network and system environments Works by rewriting source or destination address information, and sometimes port information, as traffic…
Key Points Load Balancing distributes traffic or workload across multiple resources to prevent overload Used across network and system environments in web services, cloud platforms, and distributed applications Balancing methods include round robin, weighted selection, health status awareness, and session-aware…
Key Points Abstracts server management from developers Executes code on demand Often scales automatically with request load Used in event-driven cloud applications Charges typically based on execution time and resources consumed Cold starts and execution time limits are operational constraints…
Key Points Data Plane is the operational execution layer that moves traffic or processes data after control decisions are made It is separate from the control plane, which makes policy decisions Used in routers, switches, firewalls, and networked systems Performance…
Key Points Shares channels or links across multiple users or services Used in telecom, radio systems, and transport networks Improves utilization of limited resources through pooling Relies on dynamic allocation or pooling mechanisms Enables efficient use of scarce communication capacity…
