Latency Latency is the time delay between a source event and a destination response or arrival. It describes how long data or a signal takes to traverse a path. Operations Latency Budget Latency Budget is the maximum delay allowance assigned to a system or path to meet a required performance target. It is a design constraint, not just a measurement. Operations Leaking Transit Leaking Transit is the unintended propagation of transit routes or traffic outside the boundaries where they are expected, representing a routing and policy failure. Operations LEO LEO is low Earth orbit, an orbital regime relatively close to Earth used by satellites in communications and observation systems. Concept/Framework LEO Satellite A LEO Satellite is a spacecraft operating in low Earth orbit used for communications, observation, navigation, or other orbital services. Hardware Link Aggregation Link Aggregation is the combination of multiple physical links into a single logical link for higher capacity or redundancy. Protocol Link State Routing Link State Routing is a routing method in which routers exchange and flood link-state advertisements to build a shared network topology map, then independently compute optimal paths using shortest-path algorithms. Protocol Load Balancer A Load Balancer is a system that distributes traffic or workloads across multiple resources. It improves availability, utilization, and service performance. Software Load Balancing Load Balancing is the distribution of traffic or workload across multiple resources so no single resource becomes overloaded. Software Local Oscillator Local Oscillator is the signal source used within a radio or frequency conversion stage to provide the reference frequency for mixing and translation. Hardware
