Abstract
In this paper we present a VPC and Routing Management Service for multi-class ATM networks. Considering the requirements, we decompose the Management Service into a number of distinct but cooperating functional components which we map to the TMN architecture. We describe the architectural components and analyse their operational dependencies and information exchange in the context of the overall system operation.
The proposed system offers the generic functions of performance monitoring, load monitoring and configuration management in ATM networks. In addition, it provides specific functions for routing and bandwidth management in a hierarchical structure.
