Routing Policy Routing policy is the set of administrative rules that govern how routing information is processed, filtered, modified, and selected. It defines which paths are preferred and which advertisements are permitted. Concept/Framework Routing Table Routing Table is the stored set of destination prefixes, next hops, and related forwarding information used by a router or host. It drives forwarding decisions. Software 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 Sensor-to-Shooter The end-to-end timeline and system chain connecting initial target detection by a sensor through decision-making to engagement by a weapon system, with total elapsed time across the chain serving as… Concept/Framework 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 Session Continuity The application- and user-level outcome of maintaining an active call, data session, or control link without perceptible interruption as a device moves between cells, satellites, beams, or connectivity paths, evaluated… Concept/Framework Shortest Path First Shortest Path First is a routing approach that selects the shortest or lowest-cost route through a network graph by computing the minimum-cost path from available topology and metric information. Protocol SIP A signaling protocol used to establish, modify, and terminate real-time communication sessions such as voice and video calls, handling session setup and control while a separate transport protocol carries the… Protocol Situational Awareness The accurate, sufficiently current understanding of a dynamic operational environment — including entity positions, prevailing conditions, and how the situation is changing — that supports effective decision-making by a person… Concept/Framework Split Horizon Split Horizon is a routing rule that prevents a router from advertising a route back out of the same interface or direction from which the route was learned.
