ABSTRACT: This document sets forth the view of Telcordia on proposed generic requirements for operations of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Network Elements (NEs). This document focuses on requirements needed for Broadband Switching Systems (BSSs), but the requirements in this GR can apply to any type of NE that processes ATM cells. Issue 4 of this document reflects progress made in the areas of national and international standards on ATM, such as extensions to ITU-T Recommendation 1.610, ATM Forum M4 NE View Requirements and Logical MIB, Version 2, and the ATM Forum Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA) specifications. This GR addresses service-independent ATM operations capabilities required by an ATM NE that provide support for Permanent Virtual Connection (SVC) Cell Relay Service, Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS), PVC Frame Relay Service, and Circuit Emulation Service. The operations functionality covered in this document includes all five standard functional categories: Configuration Management, Fault Management, Performance Management, Security management, and Accounting management.
