Deployment Diagram
TP Server - Traffic Processor - In the diagram above, the TP receives user traffic and calculates metrics based on the flows. The metrics are sent toward the Management Server for metadata enrichment and forwarding to the PCA Cloud Analytics platform.
The Management system is a console for Traffic and Control Traffic processor deployments that provides standard account and platform management functions. These functions include an Health Dashboard, Configuration Manager, Software Management System, and License Management System, which is further described throughout this document.
