Composite services

Overview

A composite service is a set of linked services. Composite service functions support complex applications that require a combination of services, such as VLAN connections to an HVPLS, an IES spoke into a VPLS, or a VPRN-to-VPLS interconnection.

Composite services exist only in the context of the NFM-P and are configured using the NFM-P GUI or an OSS application. The composite services are unknown to individual network devices.

See “Composite service management” in the NSP NFM-P Classic Management User Guide for more information about composite services, connector types, sample composite service configuration, and for the prerequisites and workflow to create a composite service.
