Scalability

Capacity Planning Capacity planning is the operational and analytical process of estimating future demand and aligning resources so that services remain within acceptable performance limits. It defines how much headroom is needed,… Operations Carrier Aggregation Carrier Aggregation is a wireless technique that combines multiple frequency carriers to increase bandwidth and data capacity. It allows one service to use more than one carrier resource simultaneously. Protocol Carrier Grade NAT Carrier Grade NAT is large-scale network address translation used by service providers to share limited public IPv4 addresses among many subscribers, extending NAT at provider scale. Protocol Channelization Channelization is the division of spectrum, bandwidth, or transmission resources into separate channels for communication or control. It creates distinct paths or segments for different traffic. Operations CIDR Notation CIDR Notation is a compact way to represent IP address prefixes and network masks using a slash and prefix length. It describes the size of a network range. Protocol Circuit Switching Circuit Switching is a communication method that establishes a dedicated path between endpoints for the duration of a session. It reserves resources for that connection. Protocol Classful IP Addressing Classful IP addressing is an IPv4 addressing scheme in which address ranges are divided into fixed classes with predetermined network and host boundaries. It was used in early internet design… Concept/Framework Classless Inter-Domain Routing Classless Inter-Domain Routing is an IP addressing and routing method that represents networks with variable-length prefixes rather than fixed address classes. It enables more efficient allocation and aggregation of routes. Concept/Framework Cloud Bursting Cloud Bursting is a hybrid cloud strategy that shifts excess workload from a primary environment to an external cloud environment when local capacity is exceeded, using external capacity to absorb… Software Cloud Computing Cloud Computing is the delivery and use of compute, storage, networking, and related services over a network as on-demand resources. It enables elastic consumption of infrastructure and platforms. Service Model
