ABSTRACT: This document provides the view of Telcordia on generic requirements for an interface between a Network Data Collection Operations System (NDCOS) and other application Operations Systems (OSs), such as the SWITCH and the INPLANS System, that are users of the network traffic engineering data stewarded by an NDCOS. This document defines the NDCOS-OS Strategic Architecture, NDCOS and Application OS Functionality, NDCOS/OS Interface Protocol Stack, and ASN.1 structure proposed for the NDCOS/OS file transfer of bulk data.

Revision 1 This revision defines an ad-hoc query mode for the NDCOS/OS interface to support on-demand access to Management Information Base (MIB) data in the NDC OS.

Revision 2 adds the use of File Transfer, Access and Management (FTAM) for the NDCOS/OS interface to support bulk data transfers.
