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

  3. The marketplace Competition, New technologies $$

  4. “Right sizing” • Workforce cuts in the late 80s and 90s • 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

  5. OSS OSS OSS OSS The challenge NMS/EMS NMS/EMS NMS/EMS NMS/EMS NMS/EMS NMS/EMS NMS/EMS NMS/EMS NMS/EMS NMS/EMS NMS/EMS NMS/EMS

  18. CPC Transactions • Service Requests are encapsulated into transactions • Transactions are network wide • Transactions are atomic • Success: changes are committed in database • Failure: changes are rolled back

  19. CURRENT Prepare changes ABANDONED APPLIED All changes were applied All changes were reverted CPC Transaction Lifecycle New Close Open READY Schedule Apply Abandon Scheduled time arrives SCHEDULED BUSY Success Failure Delete

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

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

  23. 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

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

  25. Resource models Network Connection Service Fabric BG BG NE Node ATM Net Node Local NC CC PVC CC LC LC BG LP L LP LP L LP BG PP Node Node PP ATM nwk EM2 EM1 EM2

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

  29. Scalability

  30. Transaction rate

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

  32. Graphical User Interface

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

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

  35. Partitioning West East Voice Data

  36. 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

  37. Access Access Core ATM IP Network Frame Relay Frame Relay IP Network CPC 1.x (Layer 2) CPC 2.0 (Layer 2/3, DSL) CPC 3.0 (Layer 2/3 and Access) CPC Roadmap

  38. Roadmap CPC 1.2 CPC 3.0 CPC 2.1 CPC 2.0 • Functionality • DSL Phase II (CDM support,6160, 6260 enhancements) • Eureka 1.1 support • CWM 10.1 support • Functionality • CWM 9.1.08 and 9.2.04 support • IGX, MGX, 8850 and 8220 support • Circuit emulation and frame relay to ATM inter-working support • Y2K compliant release • CORBA API • Functionality • DSL support (6260 NI2,6130 NI1, 6400) • Eureka/IP VPN support (R1.01) • Functionality • DSL Phase III (SCM 2.x support, 6400 SSG, 6100 NI1) • AR integration • CIC integration • Wireless support Status: Planned Status: Planned Status: CC Status: FCS December 10/99 Q3 CY ’00 Q4 CY ’00 Q2 CY ’00 Q4 CY 99
