Store and Forward A design pattern in which data is held locally at its point of origin when a network connection is unavailable, then transmitted once connectivity is restored, preserving data generated during… Concept/Framework 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 Subnetting Subnetting is the process of partitioning an IP network into subnets so routing, policy, and address allocation can be managed at a finer granularity. Concept/Framework Sun Sensor Sun Sensor is an attitude sensor that determines spacecraft orientation by detecting the direction of the Sun and translating that measurement into an angular reference for the spacecraft. Hardware Sun-Synchronous Orbit A sun-synchronous orbit is a near-polar orbit that precesses at a rate that keeps local solar time approximately constant for each pass. Concept/Framework Supervisory Control Supervisory Control is a control layer that monitors processes and issues high-level commands rather than directly regulating low-level behavior continuously. It oversees the process through coordination and command rather than… Operations 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 Synchronization The practice of aligning multiple systems, devices, or measurements to a common, precise time reference, enabling events or data captured at different physical locations to be directly compared, sequenced, or… Concept/Framework Synchronous Ethernet SyncE is a mechanism for recovering and distributing a common frequency reference over Ethernet so downstream devices can lock to a stable transport clock.
