Page 7I-ETS 300 637: September 1996ForewordThis Interim European Telecommunication Standard (I-ETS) has been produced by the Network Aspects(NA) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).An ETSI standard may be given I-ETS status either because it is regarded as a provisional solution aheadof a more advanced standard, or because it is immature and requires a "trial period". The life of an I-ETSis limited to three years after which it can be converted into an ETS, have it's life extended for a furthertwo years, be replaced by a new version, or be withdrawn.Proposed announcement dateDate of adoption of this I-ETS:30 August 1996Date of latest announcement of this I-ETS (doa):31 December 1996IntroductionThe objective of traffic management is to enable as many calls as possible to be successfully completed.This objective is met by maximizing the use of all available resources in any situation. It is also to be seenas the function of supervising the performance of a network, and to be able, if necessary, to take action tocontrol the flow of traffic for optimizing the utilisation of the network capacity.The information model given in this I-ETS provides a common view for the performance data retrievalfrom the Network Element (NE), and for the administration of controls and instructions from theOperations System (OS) to the NE. The performance data provide information for the activation of trafficmanagement controls, for the validation of former traffic management actions, and as input data for futuretraffic management actions.SIST I-ETS 300 637 E1:2003

Page 9I-ETS 300 637: September 19961ScopeThis Interim European Telecommunication Standard (I-ETS) provides an information model which coversthe management aspects of the "traffic management" services functions in an exchange, as defined in theETR 047. The application of this I-ETS is limited only to circuit-switched networks. Traffic management forSignalling System No.7 (SS7) networks and intelligent networks are outside the scope of this I-ETS.This I-ETS focuses only on the information model at the Q3 interface between Network Element (NE) andOperations System (OS).The following restrictions to the scope of this I-ETS apply:-this I-ETS does not cover traffic measurement aspects;-the handling and processing of traffic management related information on OS level and theforwarding of these data on OS level are out of the scope of this I-ETS.-network performance data are needed as input for the traffic management controls. Sometimes thesame data can be used for traffic measurement, but this coincidence is ignored in this context. Thenetwork performance data are identified and modelled as far as they are relevant and when theycannot be retrieved from other documents;-functions listed in Task Information Base B (TIB B) for traffic management (ETR 047,subclause 5.5) which are supportable by information models defined in other ETSI and ITU-Tdocuments are not redefined in this I-ETS. Those information models are either referenced or, ifnecessary, inherited;-as far as possible and sensible, the functions defined in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)system management framework are considered.2Normative referencesThis I-ETS incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listedhereafter.

Some calls may get rejectedif no traffic management action is taken.This is a warning, the exchange may have activated internal traffic control actions. No additionaltraffic should be directed to this exchange;-MCL2: serious congestion level, the exchange is no more able to handle all offered traffic.More severe traffic management actions are to be performed to reduce the exchange load;-MCL3: complete inability of the exchange to process calls.With high probability, the exchange is not able to handle any calls. No further calls should bedirected to this exchange.direct routed traffic: A collection of offered calls for which a circuit sub-group would be the first choice.alternate routed traffic: A collection of offered calls for which a circuit sub-group would be the overflowcase.3.2AbbreviationsFor the purposes of this I-ETS, the following abbreviations apply:ACCAutomatic Congestion ControlCCSCommon Channel SignallingDCCDestination Code ControlHTRHard To ReachMCLMachine Congestion LevelsM/C/OMandatory/Conditional/OptionalNENetwork ElementOSOperations SystemOSIOpen Systems InterconnectionRDNRelative Distinguished NameSCRSelective Circuit ReservationSS7Signalling System No.7TARTemporary Alternative RoutingTIBTask Information BaseTMNTelecommunications Management NetworkSIST I-ETS 300 637 E1:2003



Page 12I-ETS 300 637: September 19964Functional requirementsThe functional requirements are derived from the TIB A and TIB B specified in ETR 047 for the trafficmanagement service (see annex B). They cover the following management service function areas:-status monitoring functions;-performance monitoring functions;-control functions;-reference data;-administrative functions.The status and performance monitoring functions considered in the model are based on measurementitems specified in CCITT Recommendation E.502 [6] (which is internally based on CCITTRecommendation E.411 [4]).The traffic management control functions considered in the model are based on controls specified inCCITT Recommendation E.412 [5].4.1Status and performance monitoring functionsA wide range of status and performance monitoring functions is still covered by the information modelprovided in ITU-T Recommendation Q.822 [9]. An excerpt of this recommendation is given in annex E.Therefore this I-ETS contains only those parts of the information model which cannot be referenced toITU-T Recommendation Q.822 [9].For the presentation of the performance data at the NE-OS interface the use of the simpleScanner objectclass and its scan report notification as defined in ITU-T Recommendation X.738 [18] were chosen, asdue to the potential amount of performance data their retrieval from one simpleScanner object instanceper observed object cl
