MPLS MPLS is a packet-forwarding and traffic-engineering technology that directs network traffic using labels rather than traditional IP-only routing decisions. Protocol Multi Cloud Multi Cloud is the use of services from more than one cloud provider within a single organization or system strategy. It introduces provider diversity and integration needs. Service Model Multi-Access Edge Computing The general architectural concept of hosting application compute close to the radio access network across any access technology, reducing latency and backhaul traffic for applications served near the network edge… Concept/Framework Multi-Orbit Connectivity A satellite service model in which a user terminal or network connects through more than one orbital class — LEO, MEO, or GEO — either simultaneously or by switching between… Concept/Framework Multicast Multicast is a communication method that delivers the same data to a selected group of receivers instead of to one receiver or everyone. It reduces duplicate transmission through network-based replication… Protocol Network Address Translation Network Address Translation is the translation of one address space into another, usually to allow private addresses to communicate with public networks. It rewrites address information at a boundary. Protocol Network API A standardized programmatic interface exposing specific network capabilities — quality-of-service adjustment, network slice selection, location or device status information — to third-party applications, letting an application request tailored network behavior… Concept/Framework Network Densification Network Densification is the increase in the number of network nodes, access points, or base stations in a given area to improve capacity or coverage. Operations Network Function Virtualization Network Function Virtualization is the implementation of network functions in software on general-purpose compute rather than dedicated purpose-built appliances. Software Network Operations Center Network Operations Center is the operational facility that monitors, manages, and responds to events across a communications network. Operations
