hallintavillaverkko

Hallintavillaverkko, also known as administrative domain or administrative whale in English, refers to a concept in telecommunications and computer networks that describes a specific network or a part of a network under the control of a single administrative entity. This entity, such as a company, an organization, or a government agency, is responsible for the management, operation, and security of the resources within its domain.

The purpose of establishing a hallintavillaverkko is to enable a centralized approach to network administration. This allows for consistent policy enforcement, efficient resource allocation, and streamlined troubleshooting. Within a hallintavillaverkko, the administrator can define and implement security protocols, manage user access, monitor network traffic, and ensure the overall performance and reliability of the network.

In larger, interconnected networks, such as the internet, multiple hallintavillaverkot often coexist. These domains may interconnect and exchange data, but each maintains its independent administrative control. Protocols like BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) are used to route traffic between different hallintavillaverkot, allowing them to communicate while respecting their individual boundaries and policies. The concept helps in organizing complex network infrastructures and delegating responsibility for network segments.
