Outline • • Trends in the market The challenge Introduction to CPC The walk away… CPC Architecture Roadmap Questions and Answers

The marketplace Competition, New technologies $$

“Right sizing” • Workforce cuts in the late 80 s and 90 s • Results: – skilled and experienced workers no longer available • Level of automation is still low • Service providers unable to fulfill demand for new services – High cost in time and staff – Quality loss during service activation

Threading • Threaders are supplied with resource models • Generic threading algorithms – least cost, least number of hops – load leveling of NNIs • Specify threading policies

Threading • • • Steps: NNI discovery Enumeration of candidate paths Selection of acceptable paths Path costing Path prioritization

Threading • Inter-network connections are discovered – Both logical ports must be unlocked – Both logical ports must support the same protocol • Candidate paths – loopbacks are rejected

Threading • Select acceptable paths – ports that sufficient bandwidth, available connections – ports must be in the same VPN • Bandwidth calculation – based on Qo. S attributes – separate calculations for Frame Relay and ATM

Scalability • Per CPC limits: 1 M objects • Increases can be supported via distributed architecture, nested CPCs – 1 M subscriber aggregation points – 1 M DSL provider ports per region • Managed nodes: 20, 000 • Concurrent sessions: 5

Scalability

Transaction rate

Transaction rate • Add DSL Subscriber – 10 secs per transaction – 6 transactions per minute

Graphical User Interface

Open and Flexible APIs CORBA CPC CORBA CEMF CMIP or other SNMP CWM Other EMS

Flexible and Open APIs • All standards based • Northbound API models everything that can be done via the GUI • Java applets, scripting tool also supported

Partitioning East Voice West Data

Partitioning • VPN tags or Managed Domain tags can be added to CPC objects in the database (ie: nodes, cards, ports) • Access privileges can be assigned per operator: administrator, operator, observer • Each operator can be assigned to a managed domain or to a VPN that consists of specific objects
