südamikuvõrgu

südamikuvõrgu, meaning "core network" in Estonian, refers to the central part of a telecommunications network. This is where the main traffic flows and where the essential functions of the network are managed. It is distinct from the access network, which connects individual users or devices to the core. The core network is designed for high speed, reliability, and scalability to handle the aggregated traffic from numerous access points.

The primary role of a südamikuvõrgu is to route data packets efficiently between different parts of the network and to other networks. It often comprises high-capacity routers and switches. In mobile telecommunications, the südamikuvõrgu includes components like the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) and the Home Location Register (HLR), which manage calls and user data. For internet services, it encompasses large internet backbone routers that connect various internet service providers.

Key characteristics of a südamikuvõrgu include its robustness, with built-in redundancy to prevent service disruptions. It is engineered to support a wide range of services, from voice calls to high-speed data and video streaming. The evolution of südamikuvõrgu is closely tied to advancements in networking technology, such as the transition from traditional circuit-switched networks to packet-switched networks, and the ongoing development of technologies like 5G and beyond. Its efficient operation is critical for the overall performance and user experience of any communication service.
