 +====== Communication Characteristic ======
  
 +[[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:start|Go up to Terms and Definitions]]
 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +Communication among entities may exhibit characteristics that affect the behavior of the distributed system using that communication.
 +
 +A Communication Characteristic identifies an aspect of communication that may be described, constrained, configured, measured, or reproduced.
 +
 +Examples may include latency, communication protocol, delivery behavior, or [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:q:qos|Quality of Service]] characteristics.
 +
 +A Communication Characteristic is distinct from a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:communication_parameter|Communication Parameter]]. The characteristic identifies the aspect of communication being described. A Communication Parameter specifies a value, condition, or constraint governing that characteristic.
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//a characteristic describing an aspect of information exchange between communicating entities//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +DIDO Solutions architectural definition derived from DIDO-TE communication requirements and DIDO Reference Architecture communication and Quality of Service concepts.
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +The definition does not prescribe the set of Communication Characteristics supported by a particular system.
 +
 +Specific characteristics become normative only when identified by an applicable architecture, requirement, [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration|Configuration]], or [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_definition|Test Definition]].
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +Latency is a Communication Characteristic. A configured maximum latency of 50 milliseconds is a value associated with that characteristic.
