Hi Ken,

Could you forward this on my behalf to the soa-rm list -- I got a failure notice saying that only subscribers are allowed to post...I am subscribed to the list but I guess it means something else.

Thanks,

BobN

Hi,

- Line Range Numbers: 2454-2457

- Short descriptive title: Sub-optimal references for FCAPS standard

- Submitter: Bob Natale, MITRE

- Suggestion: Replace "(based on the ITU-T Rec. X.700 | ISO/IEC 7498-4:1989(E) standard)" with "(based on ITU-T Rec. M.3400 (02/2000), "TMN Management Functions")"

- Rationale:

(1) ITU-T Rec. X.700 only outlines FCAPS in Sec. 5.5 and does so in an out-dated OSI management framework (which framework is not highly conducive to SOA).

(2) M.3400 (02/2000) gives a far more detailed description of FCAPS functions and is the currently industry accepted defining document and is not tightly bound to the OSI management framework.

(3) ISO/IEC 7498-4:1998(3) is no longer applicable or relevant to industry, in light of M.3400.

Cheers,

BobN
