# Industrial Specification: Connection Manager

## 1. Technical Definition
A software or hardware component within the Output Handler that manages and coordinates communication connections between different system modules or external devices.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-1000 concurrent TCP/IP connections at 1 Gbps bandwidth**. Failure boundary: **Connection pool exhaustion at 1024 simultaneous connections or sustained 95% CPU utilization for 300 seconds**, Mechanism: **Memory fragmentation causing heap exhaustion at 2 GB allocation limit, or thermal throttling at 85°C junction temperature in embedded implementations**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Network buffer overflow due to 1500-byte MTU mismatch | 8 | Packet loss exceeding 5% threshold causing connection timeout | Implement adaptive MTU discovery with 128-byte jumbo frame support |
| Clock drift exceeding ±50 ppm in distributed systems | 8 | TCP sequence number desynchronization leading to RST flag storms | Hardware timestamping with IEEE 1588 PTP synchronization to ±100 ns accuracy |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
