I wish they would unpack their buisiness jargon acronyms. What are SOHO, ROBO and SMB in this context?

SMB is Small-Medium Business; ROBO I don't know; SOHO I don't know but I think is Small & Home - meaning in networking is essentially 'not enterprise'.

Edit: Having now looked ar TFA, Home is listed before SOHO, so I might be wrong about that. Also in fairness SMB at least is defined on, er, second use.

SOHO = Small Office/Home Office

ROBO = Remote Office/Branch Office

thanks. thought they meant "server message block" at first and i'm like do i have to?
