This is relevant for: - - - This Guidebook refers to the White Book version of OMAP. network operating administration, deciding on their application; provider of Operating Systems (OSs) for TMN; operator working at non-TMN terminals. Source ITU-T Recommendation 4.756 was prepared by ITU-T Stud
9、y Group 11 (1997-2000) and was approved under the WTSC Resolution No. 1 procedure on the 5th of June 1997. STD-ITU-T RECMN Q-75b-ENGL 1777 D Li8b2572 b37277 468 FOREWORD ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU T
10、elecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Stand
11、ardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution N
12、o. 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 IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and
13、 a recognized operating agency. 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 applicabilit
14、y of claimed Intellectual 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 hadhad not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to imple
15、ment this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database.

36、 of view The Guidebook refers to the definitions on Network Element (NE) layer. It provides SS No. 7 knowledge which can be used in helptexts or warnings against dangerous management activities. The Guidebook does not define the tasks to be done within the OS (on Network layer), e.g. to combine the
37、NEs of both ends of a link. It only deals with some aspects of OS, e.g. it lists the NE object classes for which coordinated activities are necessary on both ends of a Network Management entity. It also does not deal with possibly coordinated activities from one OS to several Signalling Points (SPs)
38、. 5.2 Functional preconditions 5.2.1 Scope of Recommendation 4.751 Recommendation 4.751 does not describe all aspects of the interface between OS and NE for managing SS7. Recommendation 4.751 does not define the amount of data, which is to be held consistent in the OS and the NEs and which of these
39、data is master, which is slave. The lower layers of the Q3 Interface can be derived from Recommendations Q.811 and 4.812 by assembling packages of functionalities from their various mandatory and optional aspects (“profiling“). 5.2.2 Dynamic aspects It is assumed that the implementation of the 43 in
40、terface takes into consideration also mass events within the managed Signalling Points (SP). These mass events may cause notifications, for example, about all circuits, all links, all link sets, etc. It is also assumed that mass events which involve all SPs served by an OS at one time (network outag
41、e) are taken into consideration when structuring an OS. As “mass events“ are denoted failures which force many SS7 managed objects to change their states, a massive flow of notifications could go far beyond the capacity of Q3 or the operating systems. It is assumed that OS1 management functions (Rec
42、ommendation X.734) are applied in NE and OS and used by the operator of the network. By the “event forwarding discriminator“, for example, filters can be defined to discriminate which notifications should be passed to the OS and which should not. But these filters do not take into account how many n
43、otifications or if a notification with a specific content has already been sent in the specific situation. Therefore this mechanism is not sufficient to prevent mass events. Recommendation Q.756 (0697) 3 STD-ITU-T RECMN Q.75b-ENGL 1777 4db257L 0b37305 571 D 5.2.3 Synchronization aspects 5.2.3.1 Supp
44、ort for maintaining consistency between NE and OS are outside the scope of Recommendation 4.75 1. Synchronization between NE and OS 5.2.3.2 Synchronization between Network Element and Network Management Level For the following NE object classes, coordinated activities are necessary on both ends of a
45、 NM entity: - signLinkSetTp; - signLinkTp; - si gnDataL inkT p. 5.2.4 Management on NE level is not always sufficient In case of failures, analysis might be done as for example to send a service crew to the right place. Then analysis only on network element level could be insufficient. For example i
46、n case of a link failure: If there is no failure within the signalling terminal of the network element, the operationalstate of the signDataLinkTp does not reliably indicate. if the reason for the failure lies within the terminal at the other end of the link or within the transmission line between b
47、oth the terminals. Only together with the analysis of the terminai of the other end is it possible to delimit the failure. 5.2.5 Precautions Some management activities, especially on SS7, are able to cause a network outage by only one action - possibly done erroneously (example: Administratively blo
48、cking a SignRouteSetNePart). Therefore, it is assumed that the OS employs a system to prevent damages by management activities such as: - - - warnings before executing dangerous commands; uneraseable storing of dangerous commands; special authorization for special operators for special dangerous com
49、mands. 5.2.6 Restrictions in manageability The Recommendations of the SS7 protocol, 4.700 to 4.706, did not define exactly what entities are to be managed. For a certain kernel the manageability, e.g. of links, link sets, etc., derives indirectly from the SS7 functions. Against that in a wide “gray“ area implementations differ in the possibilities they offer to management. Some examples are: - modifications of timers; - load sharing key; - change of error correction method for a link. Thus it may occur that actions are requested from the OS-side which will not be executed on the SS7
