Abstract
Capacity Management in Global Telecommunication Networks (GTN) offers
the foundation for fast transport network reconfiguration between
country-pairs to meet the time-of-day or on-demand capacity needs. When combined with
fault management, it provides several efficient restoration alternatives. The
network management model developed for GTN consists of a two-tier system managing
the undersea fiber optic cable capacity at E1(2.048 Mbps) level. The
interface between the two-tiers is a CCITT Telecommunications Management Network
(TMN) X-interface. The objectives of this paper are to describe the
implementation of the X-interface. The paper also contains an example scenario that
describes the implementation of the X-interface through passing Common Management
Information Services Elements (CMISE) between the manager and processes.
Keywords: TMN; X-interface; object oriented; configuration management;
globalization;
reconfiguration; international networks; restoration; transport network.
