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… Hardware Convergence Time Convergence time is the period required for a routing system to process changes, exchange information, and reach a stable and usable forwarding state. It is a measure of control-plane responsiveness. Concept/Framework Critical Infrastructure Critical infrastructure is the set of essential systems and supporting networks whose reliable operation is necessary for public safety, economic stability, or mission continuity. It includes both physical and digital… Concept/Framework Cross-Domain Solution A cross-domain solution is a set of security controls that enables data exchange between dissimilar security domains by inspecting, filtering, transforming, or releasing content under explicit policy. The objective is… Concept/Framework Default Route A default route is a routing entry that directs traffic to a predefined next hop or path when the destination does not match any more specific route. It is the… Concept/Framework DERMS A software platform providing monitoring, coordination, and dispatch capability for distributed energy resources — solar, storage, EV charging, and other grid-edge assets — across a utility's service territory, extending grid… Software
