15.4.1 Network Using OSC
The following sections describe the different communication methods and the factors to be considered
while provisioning the connectivity.

CTC/Management
In a network using OSC channel, it is possible to supervise all the nodes from the network operations
center (NOC) and all nodes can communicate with each other using the OSC channel. Network topology
discovery is automatic when you use an OSC channel.

Node A
In a network using external DCN, it is possible to supervise all the nodes from the network operations
center (NOC) and all nodes can communicate with each other using external DCN. The NOC is
connected to each node through the external DCN. Since nodes do not have OSC connectivity, you must
