PCT No. PCT/GB95/02070 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 28, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 28, 1997 PCT Filed Sep. 1, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/07281 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 7, 1996A network management system for a communications network include management function software accessible to one or more workstations and incorporating a data store for management information. The network management system is structured to accommodate a layered model of the network and pays particular attention to the Service Management Layer/Network Management Layer interface. In fault and test management, the network management system incorporates elements to apply constraints, feature agreements, which elements then determine diagnosis and reporting procedures in response to fault or performance report or test inputs to the system. The system can be used to manage specific services, such as flexible bandwidth services, carried by selected network technology, such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode switching. |
