Cisco Cisco Transport Manager 9.1 Release Notes

Cisco Transport Manager is an advanced management system that provides functionality at the element 
and network management levels for Cisco optical network elements (NEs) and switches. CTM supports 
fault, configuration, performance, and security management functional areas. CTM also serves as a 
foundation for integration into a larger overall Operations Support System (OSS) environment by 
providing northbound gateway interfaces to higher layer management systems.
