Management architecture of a local integrated optical network

The management architecture of an optical local area network is presented based on the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. The layer-management architecture for the four lower layers of the OSI model is presented and the special interfaces of the systems-management application process to the node environment are given. Also, the fault and configuration management is presented. A functional block diagram of the lower-layers management which, is still under development, is given and the primitives of the statistics-management protocol are defined, along with the parameters of the four lower layers, which are monitored by the distributed monitoring functions.<
