2.2.7 Database Processor

The database processor is the repository of subscriber data on the individual DSR node elements. The database processor hosts the full address resolution database and scales by adding blades.

Key characteristics of a DP are as follows:

  • provides high capacity real-time database query capability to DA MPs.
  • Interfaces with DP-SOAM (application hosted on the same blades as the DSR SOAM) for provisioning of subscriber data and for measurements reporting across all DPs.
  • Maintains synchronization of data across all database processor.
  • Hosting other Oracle SDS based applications.
