This Recommendation defines a generic network information model to be used in telecommunications network management based on CORBA. It defines in Interface Definition Language (IDL) a set of generic interfaces and constants. The intent of this Recommendation is to define a generic CORBA/IDL model similar to that defined in ITU-T X.721 and M.3100 using CMISE. These generic IDL interfaces could be extended by various industries for managing specific network technologies, such as ATM and SONET/SDH.
