It is a module of OTGR, FR 439. Sets forth Bellcore's proposed view of generic requirements for a set of generic messages to convey Network Traffic Management (NTM) information between Network Elements (NEs) and an NTM Operations System (OS). Contains intended support to traffic management functions in the NEs and to permit NEs to interface directly with an NTM OS. The NTM services that are identified in this document pertain to NEs that handle call processing and routing. These elements may be found in a circuit switched network, a packet switched network or a signalling network. Considers SPCS that only gives switching as well as those that use the CCSN for either signalling and/or intelligent services. STP, SCP and ISDN capabilities are also modelled. The NTM functions and date in the information model for these NEs are of sufficient scope to support a broader range of elements and networks.
