Transport

Store and Forward A design pattern in which data is held locally at its point of origin when a network connection is unavailable, then transmitted once connectivity is restored, preserving data generated during… Concept/Framework Storm Avoidance Data Link Storm Avoidance Data Link is the communications link used to transmit storm-avoidance advisories, forecasts, or route changes to Maritime operators. It supports safety-aware navigation and enables timely operational response to… Protocol Submarine Cable A fiber-optic cable laid across an ocean or sea floor connecting continents or islands, using DWDM to maximize usable capacity per fiber pair, terminating at coastal landing stations that connect… Hardware Surveillance Relay Surveillance Relay is a relay link or node that forwards surveillance data or extends surveillance communications coverage. Software Switching Switching is the process of forwarding frames, packets, or flows across a network according to addressing or forwarding rules. It is used to connect endpoints and segments inside a network… Concept/Framework Synchronous Ethernet SyncE is a mechanism for recovering and distributing a common frequency reference over Ethernet so downstream devices can lock to a stable transport clock. Protocol Synchronous Transmission Synchronous Transmission is transmission that uses a shared timing reference so sender and receiver remain aligned during communication. It depends on coordinated timing. Protocol Tactical Communications The field-deployable communication capability supporting military and defense operations at the unit level, carrying voice, data, and command traffic over ruggedized equipment engineered to function under contested, degraded, or infrastructure-denied… Concept/Framework Tactical Mesh Network A mesh network topology applied specifically to unit-to-unit tactical communications, letting dispersed military units connect directly to multiple neighboring units rather than through a central hub, maintaining communication as units… Concept/Framework TCP A connection-oriented transport protocol that establishes a reliable, ordered data stream between two endpoints, confirming delivery and retransmitting lost data, trading additional handshake and acknowledgment overhead for delivery guarantees.
