10、/99) 1 FOREWORD ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff que

11、stions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recom

12、mendations on these topics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and

13、 IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation the term recognized operating agency (ROA) includes any individual, company, corporation or governmental organization that operates a public correspondence service. The terms Administration, ROA and public correspondence are defined in the Constitution of the ITU (G

14、eneva, 1992). INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS The ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. The ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intel

15、lectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, the ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendat

16、ion. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. O ITU 1999 All rights reserved.

18、 111 Recommendation M.1530 NETWORK MAINTENANCE INFORMATION (Published in 1980 as M. 1220; revised 1984, 1988; revised and renumbered 1992; revised in 1999) 1 General Maintenance of the international network is fundamentally concerned with ensuring that all its elements are operating in such a way th

19、at it may successfully provide a connection of specified or agreed quality whenever required. To achieve this objective it is important that network maintenance personnel of all involved network operators/service providers and any other people concerned in maintenance activities (e.g. service provid

20、ers customer care staff at customer contact point) have access to relevant information that may assist in identifjing networWservice impairments and to direct corrective action for fault localization and removal in case of a failure, exchanging also any relevant information with the customer when re

21、quired. 2 Scope This Recommendation provides general guidelines to transfer and use information from a maintenance standpoint. The purpose of transferring information is to assist maintenance elements in determining network elements (e.g. circuits and any other associated equipment) which are not pe

22、rforming to specified or agreed standards and also to provide any related information to the customer as agreed. 3 Categories of information The analysis and investigation of network problems requires the information to be subdivided into categories, based on the different nature of the events and o

23、n consequent differences in the urgency and/or priority of exchange between maintenance elements. This categorization is generally valid independently of the specific service carried on the network involved. Five main categories of information can be defined: 1) information on sudden events (to be d

24、ealt with in real time); 2) information on planned events (to be dealt with in time for the necessary action); 3) information on persistent problems (to be dealt with when the observed problem persists longer than a certain time); 4) periodic information (to be dealt with periodically); 5) informati

25、on on particular aspects subject of inter-network operators and/or service providers and customers agreements (to be exchanged when necessary). Typical information of each category is listed in Table 1 with the indication of the references and some explanations in the notes. Recommendation M.1530 (0

43、591 ObbOiL2 32T m NOTE 2 - In the international centres, international leased and special circuits are routed to the destination via national group links or digital blocks. A failure of these group links or digital blocks leads to a break in the international circuits. In these cases, it is of parti

44、cular importance to advise the other maintenance elements (e.g. the fault report points) in involved network operators and/or any involved service provider in order to avoid unnecessary faults location in the other countries and consequently to reduce the MTTR and/or MTRS to specified/agreed levels/

45、limits. In some cases, according to a specific agreement the aforesaid failure information may be also forwarded to other people involved in maintenance activities of the interested circuits (e.g. service providers customer care staff at customer contact point) for any subsequent exchange of informa

46、tion with the customer. NOTE 3 - This exchange of information is required when the fault involves a relevant decrease in the level of service offered to another country. In this case, the networks management centres must also be informed. NOTE 4 - Whenever the ASR temporarily decreases with respect

47、to the reference historical value, the appropriate maintenance point in the terminating country must be informed, after the necessary local investigations have been carried out, in order to Co-operate and to remove the distant network loss. The network management centres must also be informed in ord

48、er to initiate expansive and protective actions. NOTE 5 - For the normal faults reports, the procedures specified in Recommendation M.710 and others of the M.700-series are adopted. NOTE 6 - Routing data and changes thereto (see Recommendation E.149 for telephone traffic) can reduce the consequences

49、 of misrouting of traffic due to invalid dialling. An improvement can be expected in: - - - - circuit utilization. NOTE 7 - Selection of circuits not in the sequence agreed upon can cause: - uneven distribution of traffic among the circuits involved; the number of calls which fail; the number of calls switched more than necessary; the number of calls which contribute to congestion on routes accessed improperly; - increased probability of simultaneous seizures which lead to initial call failure and subsequent re-attempts. These may lead to different levels o
