ITU-T Y.1709.1

Abstract

This Recommendation provides a protocol-neutral management information model for managing the ASON control plane. It identifies the telecommunication management network (TMN) managed entities required. These entities are relevant to information exchanged across standardized interfaces defined in [ITU-T M.3010] TMN architecture. The protocol-neutral management information model should be used as the base for defining protocol-specific management information models, for example, CMISE information model and CORBA IDL interfaces. <br>The specific mapping of the protocol-neutral entities into protocol-specific managed object classes is the decision of the protocol-specific modelling design. Protocol-specific information models and their mapping from the protocol-neutral model will be described in other documents. <br>This Recommendation applies to network elements performing ASON control plane functions, and those systems in the TMN that manage them. The architecture or ASON control plane and its components are given in [ITU-T G.8080] and the management framework and requirements are given in [ITU-T G.7718]. <br>The object entities defined in this model apply to configuration and fault management. <br>There are several different perspectives from which management information may be defined for management purposes. The control plane fragment contains those object entities and information having to do with managing the control plane functions, irrespective of the platform performing those functions. That platform may be a traditional network element or a stand-alone element with no transport functionality.
