Sample Request-Response Message Flow.
A request generated by the CTI-enabled application (CLIENT) is sent to the CTI service (SERVER), and 
a response message (CONF) is generated to indicate that the request has been received. In most cases if 
the request is successful, a follow-on event will be received indicating that the desired behavior has 
occurred. Detailed descriptions of this kind of request-response-event message flow are detailed in later 
chapters in this guide.
Overview of CTI OS
The Computer Telephony Integration Object Server (CTI OS) is Cisco’s next generation customer 
contact integration platform. CTI OS combines a powerful, feature-rich server and an object-oriented 
software development toolkit to enable rapid development and deployment of complex CTI applications. 
Together with the Cisco CTI Server Interface, CTI OS and Client Interface Library (CIL) create a high 
performance, scalable, fault-tolerant three-tiered CTI architecture, as illustrated in
