An outline of a project’s short-term and long-term goals set over a specified period.

A roadmap is traditionally a detailed outline of a project’s goals and methods captured within a timeline. As a business plan, this outline serves as a summary of the expectations of the project within that period, as well as the various tasks that need to be carried out to meet the expectations. Most of the time, roadmaps are presented as charts, but the main aim of the designed plan is to convince investors of the target of the project captured in smaller objectives.

Roadmaps have become more popular with the advent of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Every platform has to have one to convince users to join.

An attack on the operating time of an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or their operations within a server-based system.

A routing attack is the type of malicious attack on Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that inhibits their operations. Usually, the aim of such attacks is not the ISP themselves but the server-based systems that run on them, for example, blockchain. So, the attack ‘breaks’ the network in such a way that communication between nodes is broken, effectively terminating the approved execution of transactions.

There are several types of routing attacks, and they are not limited to blockchain networks. Common examples of these are Denial of Service (DOS), Routing Table Poisoning (RTP), Hit and Run (HAR), and Packet Mistreating Attacks (PMA).

A popular term used in corporate finance to describe the profitability of an investment.

Return on Investment (ROI) is a measure used in corporate finance to explain how profitable it would be to commit to an investment. This measure is really a ratio that suggests that an investor can get back such and such a percentage of their original investment within a specified period. Thus, when faced with multiple investment options, ROI can assist the prospective investor in determining the option with the highest expectations of profits.

ROI is simply calculated by dividing net profit by net cost and multiplying the outcome by 100 to render the ratio in percentage. Moreover, ROI is an absolute measure, so an investment that renders 46% ROI is considered to be twice as profitable as one that renders 23%.
