AWS mediaconnect: Updated router terminology and added latency configuration
Summary
Changed 'Router matrix' to 'Router fabric' and added configurable recovery latency modes for packet loss.
Security assessment
Changes describe technical improvements to network routing and latency configuration without addressing vulnerabilities or security controls.
Evidence
+You can configure the latency that the router fabric uses to recover lost packets. Each router output has a recovery latency mode. The default mode balances latency against stream quality, and a low-latency mode reduces latency for workflows that are sensitive to delay.
