Abstract

This paper reflects selected results and guidelines which are extracted from an extensive study at Alcatel Telecom TSD on designing and optimising SDH TMN in intermediate system to intermediate system (IS-IS) and end system to intermediate system (ES-IS) environments. A methodology for TMN design has been proposed. Typical questions like how to partition the network, how to set the numerous IS-IS configuration parameters in these network elements (NEs) or how to achieve efficient reconfiguration capabilities are addressed. Performance issues are discussed and a numerical example is given which illustrates the behaviour of the protocol in an SDH network
