Core Network

Aggregation Aggregation is the process of consolidating multiple routes, addresses, or resources into one broader entity for management, advertisement, or control. In networking, it is commonly used to reduce routing complexity… Concept/Framework Autonomous System An autonomous system is a collection of IP networks and routers under one administrative control that presents routing policy to other autonomous systems as a single unit. It is the… Concept/Framework Availability Availability is the degree to which a system or service is operational and accessible when required. It reflects readiness for use rather than only performance. Operations Availability Zone An Availability Zone is a distinct infrastructure location within a region used for fault isolation and high availability, helping separate failures across independent sites. Concept/Framework Backhaul Backhaul is the transport segment that carries traffic from access sites or Edge Compute nodes to aggregation or core infrastructure. Service Model Bandwidth Bandwidth is the amount of transmission capacity available in a communication channel or network path over time. It describes how much data or spectral space a system can support. Concept/Framework Bellman Ford Algorithm Bellman Ford Algorithm is a shortest-path computation method that calculates minimum-cost routes from a source node to all other nodes in a weighted graph, including graphs with negative edge weights,… Software Carrier Grade NAT Carrier Grade NAT is large-scale network address translation used by service providers to share limited public IPv4 addresses among many subscribers, extending NAT at provider scale. Protocol CIDR Notation CIDR Notation is a compact way to represent IP address prefixes and network masks using a slash and prefix length. It describes the size of a network range. Protocol Circuit Switching Circuit Switching is a communication method that establishes a dedicated path between endpoints for the duration of a session. It reserves resources for that connection.
