Multilevel precedence and preemption
Encyclopedia
In military communications
, Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) is a priority
scheme (a) for assigning one of several precedence
levels to specific calls or messages so that the system handles them in a predetermined order and time frame, (b) for gaining controlled access to network
resources in which calls and messages can be preempted only by higher priority calls and messages, (c) that is recognized only within a predefined domain
, and (d) in which the precedence level of a call
outside the predefined domain is usually not recognized.
The International Telecommunications Union approved the MLPP recommendation in March 1993.

Telecommunications network
A telecommunications network is a collection of terminals, links and nodes which connect together to enable telecommunication between users of the terminals. Networks may use circuit switching or message switching. Each terminal in the network must have a unique address so messages or connections...

Broadcast domain
A broadcast domain is a logical division of a computer network, in which all nodes can reach each other by broadcast at the data link layer. A broadcast domain can be within the same LAN segment or it can be bridged to other LAN segments....
