<p>Communication systems, including wireless communication systems, may benefit from technology for maintenance and troubleshooting of network elements. Related networks may include global system for mobile communication (GSM) and third generation partnership project (3GPP) networks. For example, certain embodiments may relate to an external application that connects to, for example, a network server (NS)/mobility management entity (MME) network element from an operation and maintenance local area network (LAN) to a single interface to collect more information about the way the network works. A method includes interfacing to a plurality of signaling, data, or data and signaling units to provide maintenance or troubleshooting access. The method also includes isolating traffic related to the maintenance or troubleshooting access from other traffic related to data or signaling provided by or to the plurality of signaling, data, or data and signaling units.</p> |
