INM Broadband Release 4.1 PG OC 98-13 Issue 1.2
Performance Management Building Block
The Performance Management Building Block provides the capability for
client applications through the CORBA interface to deliver Performance
Management Statistics accumulated over periods of time including new
functionality such as Performance Threshold Provisioning.
The Performance Management Building Block provides CORBA open
interfaces to support functionalities such as Performance Monitoring Statistics
Retrieval and Performance Monitoring Trail Termination Point Queries.
These features can also be accessed through the already existing GNB to
provide point-and-click Graphical User Interface to the user.
Application Management
The application Management Building block provides mainly systems
management functionalities to the other building blocks (RMBB, PMBB,
FMBB, CMBB, or CORBA MOAs). These functionalities include application
starting/stopping, application configuration and application logging. The
AMBB provides services to the INM Building Blocks and the users via a
framework interface and the Application Management GUI. This provides
similar application management services as the Front-End user interface (FUI)
from HP’s INA DPE which was the tool that was used for the INA Transport
Program.
The Application Management GUI is a user interface that allows the user to
manage and administer the INM Building Blocks. It provides functionalities
such as application configuration mechanism (configuring AMBB attributes),
logging mechanism (setting log types, logging severity levels) and start/stop
mechanism (starting or stopping Building Blocks, activating or deactivating
interfaces).
Graphical User Interface and the SONET MOA
The INM provides the user with two graphical user interface (GUI) tools: the
Graphical Network Editor (GNE) and the Graphical Network Browser (GNB).
The GNE is used to administer and configure the OPC/MOA spans of control
as well as the topology of the network display. The GNB provides
network-wide surveillance and management capabilities to users of the
system.
The GNE and the GNB provide simple point-and-click access to the OAM&P
functions available in the S/DMS TransportNode subnetworks, S/DMS
AccessNode, SONET Radio, DV-45, Tellabs Titan 5500 DCS as well as the
OC-3 Express Network Elements and potentially other Network Elements.
