Overview A significant portion of service failures, provisioning problems and troubleshooting delays can be directly attributed to control plane mis-configuration, undetected routing topology changes and the lack of simple tools that could be used to understand the control plane’s impact on services. These operational inefficiencies lead to a number of business problems for service providers. They make it difficult to provide more consistent service delivery quality. They impact the ability t

Solving Control Plane Operational Issues with the 5650 CPAM Service providers offering business critical services and delivery sensitive residential applications such as video can’t afford to let their customers down. Their reputation for consistent service delivery quality and adherence to SLAs is crucial. Since IP and MPLS provide the control plane technology that allows services to be rerouted around failures, leaving this critical technology unsupervised and manually operated can lead to

Re-Defining IP/MPLS Management While IP/MPLS control plane protocols are crucial to The first successful, large scale, IP-based networks were enabling unprecedented cost-effectiveness for rerouting deployed to support residential high speed Internet (HSI) around failures, the majority of today’s management connectivity. This high volume, low cost, best-effort applications from other equipment vendors do not service did not warrant the need for sophisticated concern themselves with monitoring the

The 5620 SAM allows operators to focus on managing services. It intel - ligently correlates corresponding network objects and the effect of their status on service delivery. This service management model provides multi-technol ogy and multi-layer service provisioning, service alarm management, service/customer impact analysis, auto-generated service test suite and service media- tion (service statistics, alarms, inven- tory and provisioning) for operation support systems (OSS). To take carrier

Leveraging the Market Leading Alcatel-Lucent Service Router Portfolio By leveraging best-in-class and proven technologies from the Alcatel-Lucent service router portfolio, the comprehensive 5650 CPAM can efficiently be deployed in a service provider’s environment without introducing significant risk or cost [Figure 4]. The real-time control plane information is provided to the 5650 CPAM by the Alcatel-Lucent 7701 CPAA, which non-intrusively participates in routing plane signaling. This applia

Key Features Proactive Control Plane Surveillance The Alcatel-Lucent 5650 CPAM provides a number of mechanisms that monitor control plane health. With proactive control plane surveillance, an alarm generated by the 5650 CPAM alerts operators that the routing plane is undergoing changes that exceed a configurable limit. Operators can navigate to a control plane topology map where all new or deleted IP routes are color coded to help them zero in on the routes affected by the routing updates [Figu
