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. The team is also working the creation of the supporting OS to OS interface, which will be provide an XML solution set to support inventory management and alarm management based on the current MTNM object model.
Since April 2008 MTNM is part of the TM Forum Interface Program (TIP).
