Abstract

See full text

In a management system of a communications network comprising a plurality of network elements, capacity and capability of one or more individual network elements is represented by a set of data templates. A first set of data templates represent internal construction and physical resources of a network element. A second set of templates represent connectivity capabilities of the physical resources. The data templates are stored at an element controller, controlling a plurality of network elements. The element controller learns about the capacity and capabilities of the network elements, by receiving a set of reference messages generated by the network elements, over an operations, administration and maintenance channel. The reference messages point to the data templates stored at the element controller thereby enabling efficient enrollment of network elements by transmission of compressed messages over the operations, administration and maintenance channel.
