"The present document is part of an Integration Reference Point (IRP) named ""Transport Network (TN) Interface Network Resource Model (NRM) IRP ""@ through which an ""IRPAgent"" (typically an Element Manager or Network Element) can communicate Configuration Management information to one or several ""IRPManagers"" (typically Network Managers) concerning Transport resources. The ""Transport Network (TN) Interface Network Resource Model (NRM) IRP"" comprises a set of specifications defining Requirements@ a protocol neutral Network Resource Model (NRM) and corresponding Solution Set(s). The present document: 1. specifies the protocol neutral Transport Network Interface Resources IRP: Network Resource Model. It reuses relevant parts of the generic NRM in TS 32.622 [6]@ either by direct reuse or sub-classing@ and in addition to that defines Transport specific Managed Object Classes. The Configuration Management (CM) area is very large. The intention is to split the specification of the related interfaces in several IRPs - as described in the Introduction clause above. An important aspect of such a split is that the Network Resource Models (NRMs) defined in different IRPs containing NRMs are consistent@ and that NRMs supported by an IRPAgent implementation can be accessed as one coherent model through one IRP Information Service. In order to access the information defined by this NRM@ an IRP Information Service (IS) is needed@ such as the Basic CM IRP: IS (TS 32.602 [7]) or the Bulk CM IRP: IS (TS 32.612 [8]). However@ which Information Service that is applicable is outside the scope of this document. Finally@ regarding the support of the State Management IRP: IS (TS 32.672 [3])@ all NRM's of one release shall support the same State Management IRP version. This specification is related to 3GPP TS 32.672."
