Abstract - The telecommunications community is migrating toward a new network architecture based on horizontal layers.
The separation of the network functionality into independent layers is a key principle in modern networking in the tele- and
datacom industry today. The layered thinking is also a very fundamental and visible aspect in a number of standardization
initiatives and industry forums, such as the Multiservices Switching Forum, led by several of the largest operators and
manufacturers.
This paper presents the short overview of Connectivity Packet Platform as a carrier-class technology that has been
positioned for access and transport products in mobile and fixed networks based on layered design.
