Industry’s First Integrated Service

and Control Plane Management Solution

The Alcatel-Lucent 5650 CPAM revolutionizes IP/MPLS manage- ment. It is the industry’s first off- the-shelf equipment vendor solution that enables network operators to overlay Layer 2 and 3 services, MPLS tunnels, and OAM traces on the control plane topology map. By doing this, it allows network

Service troubleshooting time is further reduced by allowing operators to instantly determine whether a control plane topology change caused a variation in service quality.

operators to visualize multiple layers in one simple integrated view, which enables them to understand the relationship between these layers and their effect on each other.

The seamless navigation and inte- gration between the 5620 SAM and the 5650 CPAM allows network operators to visualize service paths through the routed network. It also

allows service providers to under- stand path changes through a comparison of historical and current paths.

By empowering network operators with simple visual tools that auto- matically track and correlate complex control plane topology, the 5650 CPAM decreases troubleshooting time and reliance on IP routing

experts to solve provisioning or customer reported problems. This comprehensive approach, although incremental in nature for Alcatel- Lucent 5620 SAM customers, repre- sents a new foundation for managing IP/MPLS networks. It integrates element, network, and service and control plane management into a single IP/MPLS management solution [Figure 3].
