Core Network

Loop Prevention Loop Prevention is the use of mechanisms that stop forwarding, routing, or control loops from forming in a network or process. It protects stability and correct forwarding. Operations MCX The 3GPP-standardized family of mission-critical push-to-talk, data, and video services delivered over LTE and 5G networks, providing public safety and defense organizations mission-critical-grade group communication capability over cellular network infrastructure. Protocol Metro Network The transport infrastructure layer connecting access sites, aggregation points, and data centers within a single metropolitan area or region, built on optical transport and carrier service technologies, sitting between local… Concept/Framework Middle Mile Middle Mile is the transport segment between local access networks and core or aggregation infrastructure that carries traffic beyond the access edge. Concept/Framework Midhaul Transport Midhaul Transport is the transport segment that connects radio or access network elements to aggregation or core parts of the network. Protocol MPLS MPLS is a packet-forwarding and traffic-engineering technology that directs network traffic using labels rather than traditional IP-only routing decisions. Protocol 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 Neighbor Exchange Neighbor exchange is the protocol process by which adjacent routing peers advertise, learn, and maintain reachability information. It is the control-plane dialogue that supports path selection and routing convergence. 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 Convergence Network convergence is the period and process by which network devices update routes or state until all relevant nodes agree on the current forwarding topology.
