TMN based ATM network management

ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is considered to be most suitable for broadband integrated networks, because of its time transparency, bandwidth flexibility, and support of various services in a seamless manner. With rapid growth of ATM networks, its effective management across private as well as public networks has become crucial, in order to provide users with various services with different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. This paper will focus on different issues regarding the applicability of Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) model to ATM networks, the use of various Management Information Base (MIBs), and protocols for the management of ATM networks.
