Service provider networks are nearly always supplied by multiple vendors and consist of multiple technologies. Managing this disparate environment presents a large integration challenge for centralized management of the network. The MTNM model provides a single, common solution for managing multi-technology networks (including SONET, SDH, DWDM, ATM, Ethernet and others) and new technologies and network capabilities emerging from ITU SG15 and OIF, including the Control Plane and Ethernet.

mTOP-MTNM Joins the TM Forum Interface Program

The TM Forum Interface Program was launched in April 2008 as the entity responsible for all normative interface work within the TM Forum.

Under the TM Forum Interface Program, all interface development efforts will be unified. That includes OSS/J (the multi-technology APIs that deliver on NGOSS design guidelines); mTOP (network and service management from transport); IPDR (the interfaces used for usage data management and accounting); and CO-OP(implementation of a common architecture for mobile network management.) Each will now leverage each other’s development resources to create a common roadmap and architectural framework.
