Introduction to Q14/4 ITU Application Specific Network Management

2 Overview l Goals and Objectives of WP 3 l Current and new structure l Activities of Q14/4 between l Activities planned for 2004 and beyond

3 Goals and Objectives l Develop requirements, analysis and design n Generic across multiple technologies (SDH, PDH) n Usable in multiple applications (fault, performance) n Specific access technologies n Management at network element, network and service level resources l Reusable specifications in the midst of interface protocol evolution/revolution n Requirements and analysis follow an approach from well known SW design methodology n Adapting to different protocols is to be made a mechanical process from accepted end user requirements

4 Current and New Structure l WP 3 developed ( )  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 l WP 4 developed ( )  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

5 Q14/4 in Current and New Structure l 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 l Q14/4 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

6 Completed Activities ( ) l BISDN CMIP Information Models for managing V5.1 and V5.2 interfaces Addressed areas include configuration, fault including testing and performance l 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 l SDH-DLC Access network Requirements n Management functional requirements (recently approved Q.837.1) l Work In Progress n EPON, Enhancements to BPON and UML use cases for SDH-DLC

7 Example from BPON Functions Actors Resources Classes Attributes Operations Sequence Diagrams CORBA IDL Specification

8 Activities for l Develop Requirements, Analysis and Design for n EPON Network Level Management n SDH-DLC Access Network l Enhance and maintain n BPON specifications in step with FSAN l Maintain existing recommendations n Alarm Surveillance n Performance Monitoring n Broadband ISDN n Application Specific models in X series n Usage Monitoring n Traffic Management n ISDN Configuration Management
