Route Manager

Route Manager is a Net-Net Central management application used in session routing applications for service provider interconnect and peering services. It consolidates and automates the management and distribution of up to two million routes per Acme Packet session border controller (SBC) or session routing proxy (SRP). Utilizing Net-Net Central’s intuitive, browser-based graphical user interface (GUI), Route Manager leverages the Net-Net Central framework to automatically provision and distribute routing information to all or specific subsets of SBCs and SRPs in the network.

In addition to built-in route provisioning, Route Manager can import routes from deployed Acme Packet systems or from external servers, and utilizes powerful global search and display capabilities to additionally simplify route modification and creation. To enhance troubleshooting and maintenance, the Route Manager application maintains a history of route changes and system updates and provides rollback capability.

Route Manager is a component of Acme Packet’s Open Session Routing (OSR) architecture, which features the Net-Net Session Router (SR) or Net-Net Session Director (SD). Both products utilize centralized routing information kept in an on-board routing database and/or obtained externally via best-of-breed routing database products and services from OSR ecosystem members.

Route Manager functions/features include:

  • Creation and modification of onboard routing databases for Acme Packet SBCs and SRPs
  • Global search and display for route creation and modification
  • Automatic distribution of routing information to all or specific subsets of SBCs and SRPs
  • Route importation from external databases (CSV file format) or deployed systems
  • Enhanced troubleshooting via edit/search/replace, rollback, and audit log capabilities
