For MPLS Manager, the domain is the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network and the MPLS virtual private network (VPN). Each Domain Manager is autonomous in the sense that it:

• Maintains its own data models, repository, and problem signatures.

• Monitors and analyzes the discovered objects in its own domain.
