Network Protocol Manager, working with Smarts IP Availability Manager (IP Availability Manager) and the Smarts Service Assurance Manager (Global Manager), manages routing-protocol networks. Network Protocol Manager architecture for BGP or OSPF and Network Protocol Manager architecture for EIGRP or IS-IS show how Network Protocol Manager interoperates with these components.
