Transport

Fronthaul Fronthaul is the transport segment that connects radio access equipment at the Edge Compute to centralized baseband or processing resources in separated radio access network architectures. Protocol Gateway Diversity Gateway Diversity is the use of multiple gateway paths, sites, or providers to reduce dependency on a single gateway point of failure. Concept/Framework Gateway Handover Gateway Handover is the transfer of service traffic from one gateway to another to maintain connectivity or optimize performance. Operations GRE Tunnel GRE Tunnel is a generic routing encapsulation tunnel that carries one network protocol inside another across an intermediate network by wrapping payload protocol in a GRE header. Protocol Harvest Now, Decrypt Later A threat model in which an adversary records currently-unbreakable encrypted data traffic today, storing it in anticipation of decrypting it retroactively once a cryptographically relevant quantum computer becomes available, making… Concept/Framework Holdover Timing Holdover Timing is the ability of a system to continue providing acceptable timing when its external reference is temporarily unavailable. It maintains timing during reference loss. Operations Hub And Spoke Hub And Spoke is a topology or operating model in which multiple endpoints connect through a central hub rather than directly to each other. Concept/Framework Hub And Spoke Architecture Hub And Spoke Architecture is a network design in which endpoints connect through a central hub rather than directly to one another. It simplifies interconnection but centralizes dependency. Concept/Framework Hybrid Network Hybrid Network is a network architecture that combines different transport, access, or ownership models within one operational environment. Concept/Framework IEEE The professional and technical standards organization responsible for foundational networking and electronics standards including Ethernet, developed through numbered working groups and committees addressing physical and data link layer specification.
