Network Management Principles and Functions for B-ISDN Traffic Series E: Overall Network Operation Telephone Service Service Operation and Human Factors Quality of Service Network Management and Traffic Engineering - Network Management - International Net
This Recommendation is intended to support and define the role of network management (NM) in the B-ISDN and broadband services. It explains the network management principles and functions. The major part of this Recommendation suggests the way traffic must be monitored and provides some indication of parameters for promptly detecting abnormal network traffic conditions. After the detection of the abnormal condition, automatic and possibly manual controls must be temporarily applied to the network to alleviate the problem until the problem is resolved. It is also necessary to frequently check the effects of the NM controls to note whether the control is actually helping with the problem and to determine when to modify or remove it from the network.
