Description

The MTNM Solution Suite consists of a set of documents which define the information exchange, or interface, between Network Management Systems (NMS) and Element Management Systems (EMS) enabling management of SONET/SDH, DWDM and ATM  transport networks.

The Business agreement describes the business problem and the requirements for the solution. The Information Agreement uses a technology-neutral approach to provide model interfaces that would meet the requirements set out in the Business Agreement.  The Solution Set document provides a technology-specific (Corba IDL) solution to the problem, and finally the Implementation Template and Guidelines provides a mechanism through which compliance of the implemented solution can be measured.
