Abstract

A plan for implementation of an integrated, distributed, architecture for support of intelligent network operations is described. The functional components are presented as generic building blocks, which can be combined in various ways to implement various services or specific network operations. The architecture permits flexible service offerings, allows enhanced service providers to access the local network, and allows a greater level of customer control. Transition from a traditional operations architecture to the distribution one is demonstrated
