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 appliance provides firsthand knowledge
of control plane topology and operational status of all
routers in the network, including third party routers.
In addition, the 7701 CPAA processes user generated
requests for real-time path computation that can span
multiple areas. All 7701 CPAAs in a network are
centrally configured and managed by the 5620 SAM.
The 5650 CPAM is seamlessly integrated with the
5620 SAM to provide in-context navigation from
provisioned services, tunnels, label switched paths (LSPs)
and historical OAM traces. It re-uses the 5620 SAM
physical infrastructure and user interface menus, thereby
allowing service providers to leverage their 5620 SAM
server platform, database and training investment.
Similarly, the well established 5620 SAM OSS interface
is extended to provide a single, common northbound
interface for both products. This approach reduces the
complexity associated with introducing a new applica -
tion in a service provider's network environment.
