Summary

This ITU-T Recommendation is a functional description of the operations functions required to achieve Network Event Correlation in the surveillance of international transport networks. The capability described is to correlate notifications of faults and impairments from Network Elements and to reveal the nature, location and severity of the faults and impairments and their true effect on the network.

This Recommendation is based on the TMN Functional Architecture as specified in ITU-T Recommendation M.3010. This Recommendation identifies the TMN Management Function Sets from ITU-T Recommendation M.3400 that are involved in Transport Network Event Correlation, provides functional descriptions of each Management Function Set, and illustrates how they interact to achieve Transport Network Event Correlation.
