ITU-T Recommendations

This Recommendation is for the management of Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPON). The requirements and analysis for the management interface between EPON Element Management System (EMS) and Network Management System (NMS) are provided in this Recommendation, using the TMN interface specification methodology described in ITU-T Rec. M.3020. This interface is for the integrated management at the network layer as well as the element layer as required. In this Recommendation, a network element view combined with a network view of EPON managed entities are modelled according to a protocol-neutral information modelling approach, and the UML use case descriptions, class diagrams and sequence diagrams are also provided for both the requirements and the analysis of this management interface.
