Solution and architecture for integrated network management

This paper focuses on the integrated network management. An integrated management solution is introduced, which supports multiple technologies and multi-domain networks in an open architecture environment with increased efficiency and reduced cost. By using top-to-down oriented methodology, we realize the adaptation between service management layer and network layer, which can hide the difference of multi-technology networks and provide uniform services for upper layers. Related protocol-independent information models are defined by UML, by which we can cope with existing and emerging new telecom network and management technologies.
