COPS overview
COPS is a comprehensive network management application for policy-based
network traffic control. The policy server distributes policies to edge devices and
border routers.COPS is used to communicate with edge devices on the network.
Some of the benefits of the COPS protocol are:
• It uses a client/server model for communication between the policy server and
the policy clients.
• It uses TCP for messaging, reducing the resources it requires.
• The policy server can send configuration information to the policy client, as
well as removing unneeded configuration information.
