Abstrakt: Capacity Management in Global Telecommunication Networks (GTN) offers the foundation for fast transport network reconfiguration between country-pairs to meet the time-of-day or on-demand capacity needs. When combined with fault management, it provides several efficient restoration alternatives. The network management model developed for GTN consists of a two-tier system managing the undersea fiber optic cable capacity at E1 (2.048 Mbps) level. The interface between the two-tiers is a CCITT Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) X-interface. The objectives of this paper are to describe the network capabilities and the information model for the X-interface. The paper also contains an example scenario that describes the implementation of the X-interface through passing Common Management Information Services Elements (CMISE) between the manager and agent processes.
