Prelude Topology Engine

Topology and Traffic Engineering. Real-time topology awareness for traffic engineering decisions.

Features

Intelligent Topology Awareness

Real-time topology discovery and what-if analysis to optimize your network infrastructure.

Topology Discovery

Automatically build and maintain an accurate, real-time model of your network topology with instant change detection.

Before & After

Without Prelude Topology Engine With Prelude Topology Engine

Manual topology maps

Static diagrams maintained by hand in Visio or wikis, outdated within days of any network change.

Auto-discovered, real-time topology

Continuously built and updated from live network data, with instant detection of link, node and adjacency changes.

Blind traffic engineering

TE decisions based on static capacity plans and spreadsheets, with no visibility into actual path utilization or constraint violations.

Real-time TE topology awareness

Full SR-MPLS, SRv6 and FlexAlgo topology data (metrics, constraints and segment lists) available in real time for controllers and orchestrators to act on.

Topology locked in the NMS

Topology data trapped inside a single management tool, inaccessible to controllers, orchestrators or custom automation.

Open API with real-time streaming

Northbound API exposes topology to any consumer (SDN controllers, orchestrators or third-party systems) with streaming updates on every change.

Interface UP, routing down

An IGP adjacency dies while the interface stays operationally UP — MTU mismatch, hello timeout, authentication failure, control-plane glitch. Telemetry shows green; traffic blackholes until someone notices.

Direct IGP adjacency alerts

Adjacency state monitored at the protocol level. The moment a neighbor drops — even with the interface still UP — an alert fires, surfacing routing failures that interface counters can never reveal.

MCP Server

Consume via AI Agents

Drive Prelude TE from any AI tool that speaks the Model Context Protocol — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and others. Query topology, inspect peers and trigger workflows straight from your assistant.
