  1. The TMN and OSS programme in EURESCOM Luc Mathan EURESCOM mathan@eurescom.de

  2. A long time ago, CN and TN decided they must live together CN assures TN he is moving soon to a posh new address: OSI ! TN diligently starts the long journey to OSI and almost gets there In reality CN could not afford to live in such an expensive place and moved to another, cheaper, place: SNMP TN moves in with CN but dreams of OSI and is fundamentally unhappy, even after CN’s attempts to renovate SNMP After some time CN starts thinking about moving again, to a new promising address: CORBA ! TN diligently starts again the long journey to CORBA Meanwhile CN makes other plans, because he really wants to live in a lot of nice places at the same time: JAVA, DCOM, etc... ... Not an easy love story, but CN and TN stay together ! Once upon a time ...

  3. Projects from 1991 to 1994 : Shaping TMN Projects from 1994 to 1998 : Implementing TMN Projects from 1998 onwards : Building OSS Programme history

  4. Prague workshop Objectives Projects from 1991 to 1994 : Shaping TMN Projects from 1994 to 1998 : Implementing TMN Projects from 1998 onwards : Building OSS FINAL RESULTS FIRST RESULTS

  5. The way we work • General assembly agrees on a project focusing on a problem to be solved, with usually a clearly identified customer • A number of member companies commit manpower to form the project consortium • Requirements are identified/collected by the project • Solutions are proposed and sometimes experimented by the project • Final results are disseminated to all member companies, and in most cases made available outside

  6. Projects 94-98 Aim: Technically support TMN implementations in EUROPE Using OSI model and TMN concepts already standardised or stabilised Produced for inter-operator (X) mgnt interfaces : 1) Specifications 2) Prototypes implementations and field trials 3) Methodology and guidelines for spec. and implem.

  7. The X interface X G X WS OS “Xcoop” between two service providers or network operators “Xuser” between 1) a service provider or a network operator and 2) a customer TMN F Q Q OS MD Q NE NE

  8. Projects 94-98 • X i/f specs: freephone service (P406), billing accounting & charging (P407), SDH-METRAN (P408, P707) , ATM-JAMES (P408, P708), trouble ticketing (P612), TMN security (P710) • X i/f experiments in PET-Lab: P408, P612, P707, P708 • Support to X i/f exp. (TRS + E-MOL): P414, P609 • Mostly network level mgnt • Based on GDMO, ASN.1, CMIP • DCN: X.25, ISDN, then IP

  9. Pan-European TMN Laboratory • Platforms in use : • HP OpenView • HP/Vertel • IBM TMN 600 • Bull ISM • SNI Protos • Sun Solstice • etc. Oulu (TF,1,2) Lannion (FT,1,2) Madrid (TE,1) Torino (IT,1,3) Athens (OG,1) Trier (DT,2) Brussels (RB,1) Aveiro (PT,2) Dublin (TI,3) Darmstadt (DT,1) Malmö (ST,2,3) Berlin (DT,3) Copenhagen (DK,2) Martlesham (BT,1,3) (key: 1=ATM 2=SDH 3=Trouble Ticketing)

  10. MOs MFs Glossary Ensembles Guidelines TRS and E-MOL TRS quality procedure: Technical Review Session • Information Model produced by an EURESCOM Project is • reviewed against a list of criteria by TRS experts external to the Project, • amended by the Project, • included in E-MOL if endorsed by the TRS experts E-MOL publicly accessible web library: EURESCOM Managed Object and Information Library http://www.eurescom.de/~public-web-deliverables/p600-series/P609/emolgate.htm

  11. Progress of SDH X interface in Europe bilateral agreements, joint ventures, alliances METRAN MoU METRAN OA now (through ETSI) time fault, config perf, admin, resourcing, etc P107 P408 P707 P109 security P710

  12. Progress of ATM X interface in Europe ETNO WG EASI+P813 JAMES (through ETSI) ATM Pilot now config time perf, usage mtr P105 P408 P708 fault P813 trouble ticketing P612 ITU-T NMF security P710

  13. Contributed to reorganisations in all Telcos and standards bodies Complexity means time and effort on methodology TMN boundaries are moving and fuzzy (attempts to include other models than OSI) Magnitude of investments means “legacy” still there a long time but moving fast to internet based solutions Not just network mgnt, more and more emphasis to service and business mgnt N&S management today The development and multiplication of issues involving TMN and non-TMN solutions in last 10 years has had many consequences

  14. Projects 98-beyond Aim: Technically support harmonised deployment of OSS in EUROPE Taking account of the impact two crucial factors have on N&S management : 1) Deregulation (= more regulations to observe!) 2) Technological progress (= more solutions to offer!)

  15. Reference framework for OSS interconnection (P811) number portability and accounting across telcos TMN Evolution and SP needs (P812) other architectures (OMG, TINA, etc), distributed technologies (DPE, CORBA, Java, etc.), methodology (OMT, UML, IDL, etc.), protocols (IP, IIOP, HTTP, etc.) Managed ATM service introduction (P813) deployment of X i/f, IP-based protocols, total security OSS Interconnection products evaluation (P908) vendors and SPs, number portability, capacity ordering, carrier pre-selection Projects 98-beyond

  16. Prague workshop No official panels, but enough time per Project for interactive presentations ! Special session 23 March 14h45 to 16h00 devoted to demonstrations ! We value your opinion on how we run the workshop, fill the blue questionnaire !
