Summary

Recommendation ITU-T G.784 addresses management aspects of synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) network elements containing transport functions of one or more of the layer networks of the SDH transport network. The management of the SDH layer networks is separable from that of its client layer networks so that the same means of management can be used regardless of the client. The management functions for fault management, configuration management and performance monitoring are specified.

The 2008 revision of this Recommendation has updated the management information to align with Recommendations ITU-T G.783, ITU-T G.781 and ITU-T G.7712/Y.1703, reorganized the clauses to align with the structure of Recommendation ITU-T G.7710/Y.1701, and replaced the generic text with pointers to Recommendation ITU-T G.7710/Y.1701.
