Circuit to Packet Network Software Overview
This topic provides an overview of the software components of the CTPView Network Management System and the CTP platforms.
A typical Circuit to Packet network consists of one or more CTP platforms and a CTPView server. The CTPView server runs the CTPView Network Management System software to manage the CTP platforms and construct the circuit-to-packet traffic bundles.
The software components consist of the following:
- CTPOS—Operating system that runs on the CTP platforms.
- Fedora Core (FC) OS—Operating system that runs on the CTPView server.
- CTPView Network Management System—Software that
you use to build circuits and manage the CTP platforms. You can access
this software through a browser application or through a text-based
menu set.
In this document, we use the term CTPView GUI to refer to the browser application, and the term CTPView server menu to refer to the text-based menus. CTPView software typically refers to the CTPView Network Management System without regard to the method used to access the server.
