TMN.EMS.NMS.OSS

TMN(电信管理网络)分为很多层，包括ems(element management),nms(network management),service management,business management.
我们专注于ems层.网元管理系统(EMS)是管理特定类型的一个或多个电信网络单元（NE）的系统。一般来说，EMS管理着每个NE的功能和容量，但并不理会网络中不同NE之间的交流。为了支持NE间的交流，EMS需要与更高一级的网络管理系统（NMS）进行通信，NMS也是电信管理网络（TMN）层次模型中的一元。EMS是基于TMN层次模型的运作支持系统（OSS）构架的基础，这个构架使得服务提供商(SP)能够满足客户对高速发展着的服务的需求，同时也能满足严厉的服务质量（QOS）要求。电信管理论坛(TelManangement Forum)公共对象请求代理结构（CORBA）EMS到NMS接口的出现宣告以TNM为构架的具有协同工作能力的OSS进入了实用时代。

Telecom Management Network(for short TMN) is divided into servral layers,
including ems(element management),nms(network management),service management,business management.
we focus on element management system layer, for short ems.
EMS manages one or more of a specific type of telecommunications network element (NE).
Typically, the EMS manages the functions and capabilities within each NE such as configuration,fault,performance etc.
but does not manage the traffic between different NEs in the network.
To support management of the traffic between itself and other NEs,
the EMS communicates upward to higher-level network management systems (NMS)
as described in the telecommunications management network (TMN) layered model.
The EMS provides the foundation to implement TMN–layered operations support system (OSS) architectures
 that enable service providers to meet customer needs for rapid deployment of new services,
 as well as meeting stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements.
 The TeleManagement Forum? common object request broker architecture (CORBA) EMS–to–NMS interface
heralds a new era in OSS interoperability by making the TMN architecture a practical reality.
