Why does this matter operationally?
Service Assurance
The operational discipline of guaranteeing that connectivity services meet defined performance levels, availability targets, and recovery time objectives. Service assurance combines monitoring, SLA management, and proactive intervention to maintain the reliability that industrial operations depend on.

Configuration Drift
Configuration drift is the condition in which the current state of a system no longer matches the desired or documented baseline.
Concept/Framework
Congestion Control
Congestion Control is the set of mechanisms used to prevent or reduce overload in a network or transport system by regulating traffic flow.
Protocol
Connection State
Connection State is the stored information that describes an active or previously observed communication relationship between endpoints.
Operations
Contention Ratio
Contention Ratio is the ratio between the total capacity shared by multiple users and the committed or guaranteed capacity available to each user or service group.
Operations
Control Loop Tuning
Control Loop Tuning is the adjustment of control parameters so a feedback control loop responds stably and meets its performance target.
Operations
Control Network
A control network is a dedicated or logically separated network that carries supervision, command, and management traffic for systems or infrastructure. It exists so control functions are not mixed with…
Concept/Framework
Control Plane
Control Plane is the part of a network or system that makes decisions about how traffic should be handled or where resources should be directed.
Concept/Framework
Control System
A control system is a feedback-based arrangement that compares observed state with a target and adjusts outputs to reduce error. It may be manual, semi-automatic, or fully automated depending on…
Concept/Framework
Controlled Data Transfer
Controlled data transfer is the supervised and policy-bound movement of data between systems or zones. It uses technical and procedural controls to ensure the transfer is authorized, traceable, and fit…
Concept/Framework
Controller
A controller is a component that receives input about system state, compares it with a target or rule set, and outputs a control action. It may be implemented in dedicated…
