Introduction to Q14/4 ITU

Application Specific Network

Management

Overview

Goals and Objectives of WP 3

Current and new structure

Activities of Q14/4 between 2000-2003

Activities planned for 2004 and beyond

Goals and Objectives

Develop requirements, analysis and
design

Generic across multiple technologies (SDH, PDH)

Usable in multiple applications (fault, performance)
Specific access technologies
Management at network element, network and
service level resources

Reusable

specifications in the midst of

interface protocol evolution/revolution

Requirements and analysis follow an approach from

well known SW design methodology
Adapting to different protocols is to be made a
mechanical process from accepted end user
requirements

Current and New Structure

WP

WP

3 developed (2000-2003)
Generic Information Models at NE , Network and
Service Levels
Access technology specific models (V5.1, V5.2,
BPON)
IMT 2000 requirements and models
Interface Methodology

4 developed (2000-2003)
Application Specific Information models
(Performance monitoring, alarm surveillance etc.)
Protocol Specification for Management Interfaces
Common management (event forwarding,
logging, protocol specific modeling Framework)
Joint work with ISO

Q14/4 in Current and New

Structure
Q14/4

BISDN Information models (Q.83x series)

Broadband Passive Optical Networks in
collaboration with FSAN group (Q.83x series)
SDH-DLC access network technologies
EMS-NMS interface for BPON, EMS-NE interface
for BISDN

Q14/4

(2000-2003)

4 Charter (2004+)

Continuation of the work listed above

Application Specific Support done by Q20/4
(alarm surveillance, traffic management, usage
monitoring etc.)
Part of Q17/4 related to X.730,X.740, X.750 series
recommendations

Completed Activities (2000-2003)

BISDN CMIP Information Models for managing V5.1 and

V5.2 interfaces

BPON Requirements, Analysis and Design

Uses UML methodology for requirements and analysis

CORBA Design Specification
Includes both NE and network level information
Revisions to add or enhance existing use cases and consequent
analysis and design

SDH-DLC Access network Requirements

Addressed areas include configuration, fault including testing and

performance

Management functional requirements (recently approved Q.837.1)

Work In Progress

EPON , Enhancements to BPON and UML use cases for SDH-DLC
