[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 appliance provides firsthand knowledge of control plane topology and operational status of all routers in the network, including third party routers.
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 [Figure 5].
