27、NG THE TMN (Geneva, 1997) 1 Scope 1.1 General This Recommendation describes the testing aspects of ATM management functions using the TMN. It provides generic ATM test management information definitions. The management information is applied to the Q3 interface between equipment supporting OSF and e

28、quipment implementing Virtual PathChannel (VPNC) end points or VPNC connecting points. The management information is based on the test management function specified in Recommendation X.745 i. 1.2 Relation to other Recommendations Recommendation M.3610 2 describes principles and reference models for

29、TMN management of B-ISDN in general. In this Recommendation, test management functions and management information definitions are derived for the ATM layer on the basis of the principles and the reference model discussed in Recommendation M.3610 2. Recommendations 0.191 3 and 1.610 4 speci the testi

30、ng functions of network elements, which are managed by the TMN with using the method described in this Recommendation. Recommendation 0.191 3 presents the measurement mode, the OAM cell format, and the measurement algorithms used in the ATM layer performance test. Meanwhile, Recommendation 1.6 1 O 4

31、 provides the mechanism of the non-intrusive loopback test. This Recommendation addresses the test management of the ATM layer across TMN Q interfaces. . The scope of this Recommendation is the management of temporal performance measurements, which are executed with using test cells. The management

32、information model is specified on the basis of the X.745 model. For semi-permanent performance measurements based on cell header information, the 4.822 5 model may be used as a basis of management information. This type of performance measurements, for example, header error counting based on the HEC

33、 field, are not included in the scope of this Recommendation. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute revisions of this Recommendation.

To manage the test, the following functions are provided by the TMN. a) OSF requests NE to execute ATM non-intrusive loopback test. The test request has to include: - loopback

46、location (see Recommendation M.1400 7) or indication for end-to-end measurement; and the identification of the trail termination function or the connection point that inserts and analyzes the loopback OAM cell. b) NEF reports the results of non-intrusive loopback tests. The report has to include the
