Satellite Footprint Edge Satellite Footprint Edge is the outer boundary of the geographic area covered by a satellite beam or service footprint, characterized by declining signal quality and increased sensitivity to propagation conditions. Concept/Framework Scan Cycle Time Scan Cycle Time is the time required for a controller to read inputs, execute logic, and update outputs once in a control loop iteration. Operations Secure Telecommand Channel Secure Telecommand Channel is a protected command path that ensures telecommand messages are authenticated, controlled, and resistant to unauthorized access. Protocol Secure Tunneling Secure Tunneling is the use of an encrypted or protected tunnel to carry traffic between endpoints across an untrusted network. It preserves confidentiality or integrity in transit. Protocol Segment Routing Segment Routing is a source-routing approach in which a packet carries an ordered list of instructions that guide how the network forwards it. It encodes path behavior in segments. Protocol Service Assurance Service Assurance is the operational practice of monitoring, analyzing, and maintaining service performance so it meets required service levels. It links operational data to service quality through continuous measurement and… Operations Service Beam Assignment Service Beam Assignment is the assignment of a satellite beam or service region to a user, demand area, or traffic group. It links beam resources to service demand. Operations Service Chaining Service Chaining is the ordered passing of traffic through multiple network or security services before it reaches its destination. Service Model Service Continuity Service Continuity is the ability to maintain or restore a service without unacceptable interruption when conditions change or faults occur. Operations Service Degradation Service Degradation is a reduction in the performance, quality, or reliability of a service without a complete outage. The service still operates but at reduced quality. Operations
