| | Modeling Telecommunications Networks' Transmission Systems |
 | | Hence, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), in developing new standards to cover management aspects, focused their first efforts on producing specifications dealing with Q3 interfaces to manage SDH networks and network elements (NE); that is, they describe the information model to represent the real world of SDH resources. |
 | | TMN is a concept that includes all kind of telecommunication networks; therefore, ITU (previously the International Consultative Committee on Telephone and Telegraph -- CCITT) undertook the drafting of a recommendation which specifies a generic model dealing with the high-level resources of a telecommunication network, both physical (e.g., cards, shelves, etc.) and logical (e.g., termination points). |
 | | One of the vital management functions in a telecommunication network is performance monitoring, that is, the capability to supervise performance events on a given set of monitored points within a network or NE. |
