Terminology

The MPLS Manager includes the following products:

  MPLS Management Suite is an Domain Manager. A Domain Manager is a service-assurance application that is associated with a particular type of information-technology domain, such as networks, systems, applications, or application services. 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.
