Network Protocol Manager for BGP and Network Protocol Manager for OSPF are able to understand and store tagged IP objects that are imported from IP Availability Manager. Tagged IP objects enable a Domain Manager to include overlapping IP addresses in its modeled topology.

The inclusion of overlapping IP addresses in the modeled topology results in a more accurate and more complete model of the topology, which enables IP Availability Manager, Network Protocol Manager for BGP, and Network Protocol Manager for OSPF to perform more accurate correlation analysis.
