Telecommunications - OAM&P - Information Model and Services for Interfaces between Operations Systems across Jurisdictional Boundaries to Support Service Level Alarm Reporting and Performance Monitoring
This standard describes an X interface at the service level between two Telecommunications Management Networks (TMNs). This standard abstracts from and builds on the Alarm Reporting and Performance Management information models and services already defined for Operating System to Network Element (OS-NE) interfaces within a single jurisdiction. Service affecting alarms and performance data are associated with service level abstractions of detailed network topology. Alarm conditions and performance measurements, however, are reported in network and element level terms that are commonly used by carriers today and readily available in current OSs. In the future, it may be desirable to report alarm conditions and performance measurements in service level terms (e.g., quality of service terms).
