TL;DR: The author surveys the changes to DNA network management in Phase V and describes the entity model, which models the management of the network components, and some of the supporting architectures.
Abstract: The digital network architecture (DNA) defines how DECnet networks operate. DNA has evolved over a series of phases, each incorporating technologies. The latest phase of DNA, Phase V, integrates many OSI protocols into DNA. The author surveys the changes to DNA network management in Phase V. In particular, he describes the entity model, which models the management of the network components, and some of the supporting architectures. >

TL;DR: This work proposes an NML which is an extension to the SQL database standard which would help reduce development costs, promote portability and accommodate multiple standards.
Abstract: Managing the communications resources of a computer network is critical to the successful operation of the network. A network management system is expected to manage a large collection of network nodes remotely. There is an obvious need for sophisticated network management application software in this process. Previous network management systems have been designed without particular regard for the application programmer's interface requirements. We propose that such software be written in a specialized Network Management Language (NML) that provides the programmer with high-level abstractions rather than low-level communication primitives. The NML would help reduce development costs, promote portability and accommodate multiple standards. We propose an NML which is an extension to the SQL database standard. An implementation of the NML within the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) systems management framework is discussed, and examples of its functionality and expressiveness are presented.

TL;DR: The OSI model is presented first, then an integration strategy is developed, both for naming and addressing, and an internetwork directory service instrumental to such an integration is introduced and developed in some detail.
Abstract: The ongoing development of the OSI standards for computer communication prompts existing networks to provide OSI interconnectivity. Achieving this requires two mechanisms: a global scheme to name applications, and specific solutions to provide internetwork addressability between applications. The problem of identification of remote resources across between two networks is considered. A solution is presented for the case of the interconnection of OSI and of a generic non-OSI network architecture. The OSI model is presented first, then an integration strategy is developed, both for naming and addressing. An internetwork directory service instrumental to such an integration is introduced and developed in some detail. >

TL;DR: The authors describe the architecture and functions of the telecommunication management network (TMN), which comprise: alarm surveillance; status monitoring and control; performance monitoring; failure localization; testing; installation; provisioning; network operations and management; and billing.
Abstract: The authors describe the architecture and functions of the telecommunication management network (TMN). These functions comprise: alarm surveillance; status monitoring and control; performance monitoring; failure localization; testing; installation; provisioning; network operations and management; and billing. The application of open systems interconnection concepts to the TMN is examined. >

TL;DR: The management architecture of an optical local area network is presented based on the Open Systems Interconnection model 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.
Abstract: 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. >

TL;DR: The development of the communication protocol software used for operations and maintenance communications in a distributed intelligent network for initial application in British Telecom's digital derived services network (DSSN) is described.
Abstract: The development of the communication protocol software used for operations and maintenance (O&M) communications in a distributed intelligent network for initial application in British Telecom's digital derived services network (DSSN) is described. The communication protocol is based on the OSI seven-layer reference model. The intelligent network architecture is briefly described and the OSI reference model is summarized. The development strategy followed, and the experiences encountered in doing the development, are also described. >
