SR TSV 002660 : ISSUE 1

One of the major technical objectives of INA is to develop an architecture which enables information networks to offer sophisticated multimedia, multiparty telecommunications services. Towards this end, the INA Communications Management Architecture (CMA) described in this document defines a functional architecture for the management of these types of services and the management of the resources in an INA-consistent network necessary to provide these services. For the management of telecommunications services, the CMA defines a Service Management level group of functions called Communications Session Management (CSM). The CMA also specifies a collection of Network Resource Management level functions termed Connection Management (CM). CM dynamically manages network resources.
