Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-001430
A central high-speed data transmission line or network that connects multiple smaller, lower-capacity networks. It forms the primary path for data traffic between different parts of a larger network infrastructure, such as the internet or a large corporate network. These core connections handle a substantial volume of data, often operating at gigabit or terabit speeds.
