Telecommunications

According to the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) framework, there are four layers of functionalities in a telecommunications management model: element management layer that manages network elements, network management layer that manages telecommunications networks, service management layer that deals with customers, and business management layer that handles business decisions (see Figure 1). The information required to make a decision is passed upward toward the higher layers, whereas control messages are always directed downward the lower layers.

The TMN architecture is divided into four layers, according to the objects that are managed. They are: Network-element managementNetwork managementService managementBusiness management

The Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) is originally a protocol model defined by the International Standards Organization (ISO), then ITU-T with the M.3000 series of recommendations. TMN was structured in Business, Service, Network and Element management. It included a protocol called Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP, ITU-T X.700 series), which today is largely superseded by the IETF Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

In future work, the general idea is that any system approachable with MFA can be seen as a TMN. The advantages of a TMN approach are the higher model accuracy, higher repeatability (the model accuracy is given in explicitly written dynamical equations rather than being ‘hidden’ in the data) and that it is less data-intensive. As TMN models are scalable (by adding or removing thermodynamic compartments), environmental researchers and engineers could develop and share their networks or compartments to be reused by the research community. For this reason, we published the source code of this paper.
