2. Proposed Architecture
This section briefly describes the architecture being proposed for the
implementation of [***]*.
a. Design Philosophy
The [***]* will be implemented using the TTG OM2000 Product. It will be
designed to allow the external interfaces to be modified easily as the needs of
the customer change, and standardized interfaces are developed. The core
functionality will be shielded from the external interfaces via strictly defined
and maintained APIs, and interaction between functional sections of the system
is also structured so that enhancements to one feature or function will have
predictable and limited impact to all other areas of the system. The NE specific
functions and databases will be isolated from the main system and be easy to
test and configure to minimize maintenance over the product lifetime.
b. Overview
The system architecture for this approach is shown in Figure 2.
[***]*

26
- The amount of RAM and flash required for the [***]* software and
database will be determined at a later stage.
ii. Functional Modules
The main functional modules in the system are:
- [***]* INTERFACE MODULE: This module provides the [***]*
Interface to the external management systems. [***]* requests
will be received by this module and forwarded to other modules
in the [***]* for execution. Responses, alarms and threshold
violation alerts will be received from different modules and
forwarded to external network management systems.
- PERFORMANCE MODULE: This module maintains the performance
management data collected by the [***]*. This module will
compute the data for different granularity periods periodically.
New performance data is reported to this module by other modules
outside of the [***]* in the UAP using the API provided by the
[***]*. As new data is received this module will perform the
necessary aggregations and determine threshold violations. Any
threshold violations determined will be reported to the external
management systems and also logged within the [***]*.
- LOGGER MODULE: This module maintains different kinds of audit
trails/logs for different operations performed by [***]*. This
will be useful for report generation.
- DATABASE INTERFACE: This module involves updating the database
with application data, performance data, log data, configuration
data.
- FAULT MODULE : This module receives alarms and notifications
from other UAP subsystem via the API, stores them in the local
database and forward them to the external management systems.
This module supports the capability for external management
systems to :
- setup filters for alarms to be reported
- assign severity levels for various alarms that can be
raised by the UAP
- setup filters for alarms that should be logged to the
database for later retrieval.
- CONFIGURATION MODULE: This module receives configuration data
for the various configurable entities in the UAP and stores them
in the database. The configuration information will be used to
the other modules in the UAP using the API shown in FIGURE 2.
------------------------
* CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN FILED

11
27
- AUDIT TRAIL MODULE: This module receives a copy of all requests
received by the [***]* and logs them in the database for the
purpose of auditing.
- INTEGRATION API: This module provides the API for integration
with other modules in the UAP. It also defines the hooks
described in the previous sections.
Please refer to Section 0 for the list of assumptions.
iii. Advantages
- Flexible architecture
- Scalable
- Open [***]* interface allows any application to interface with
the [***]*
iv. System Reliability
It should be noted that the initial versions of the software will
not comply the reliability expectations stated below.
Reliability is a very important aspect of this system. The system
is assumed to be operating 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week. The
basic architecture and improved CPU should assume that
maintenance and upgrades could be done without a system outage.
The [***]* will be offered in redundant configurations. Users
should not be required to take any action when a system
switch-over occurs, although it may be acceptable to suspend
operator activity until the [***]* is stabilized. The operator
will NOT need to login to regain control of the system.
v. Extensibility and Growth.
The [***]* will be designed so that the system can be easily
extended to support future enhanced services of the UAP 1000
product.

1. Introduction
This part of the document is a proposal for Anda's [***]* project. The
purpose of this document is to identify
- the scope of project
- the work involved in the implementation of the [***]*
- Time Estimates and
- Pricing
The remaining part of this section provides a general description of
[***]* solution that will be developed for Anda by TTG.
a. General System Description
[***]* is a software product that shall support Anda Access Network
Elements. It provides OAM&P (operations, administration, maintenance &
provisioning) to Anda's [***]* access network elements. It supports a
[***]*-based interface to the upper management systems. The [***]* can be scaled
to support multiple network elements in future The [***]* is designed around a
core set of features and functions that are standardized across multiple TTG
products, giving it a predictable and comprehensive set of features.
The remainder of this section outlines various major components and
functions provided by the [***]*. More detailed description is provided in the
following sections of the documents.
i. General Operation
ii. System
[***]* may be operated either from a PC-based [***]*, or a web browser.
The [***]* shall support multiple operators. It operates using NT based
communications server, and utilizes a [***]*.
iii. [***]*
The operator [***]* ([***]*) will be developed to provide a clear and
consistent product image and operation to the Anda's end customer.
The operators of the [***]* will operate with the aid of various
graphical screens that will be designed to minimize operator training
requirements, while at the same time the operator will be allowed to directly
access functionality using system menus and the computer keyboard.

iv. Uplink
The uplink supported initially is [***]*.
v. Software Updates
The software will be designed so that individual applications may be
added into the system without the need for a complete replacement of the
platform software, or reinstallation. It is desirable to allow software to be
added to the system without a system-wide outage.
vi. Security
[***]* will provide all access security functions and operator logging
functions for a distributed management system. The operators will each have
individual passwords. It is assumed that the system will be operating on a
secure intranet LAN. Internet firewall security must be provided with a separate
product.
vii. System Administration
[***]* will provide the tools and functions that allow the [***]* system
to be administered. This involves operating security functions, updating
topology information, performing database backups, examining [***]*, etc. Our
goal is to perform all system administration without the need for a system
shutdown.
viii. Topology
The basis for all operation and functionality of the [***]* system is
the concept of the topology view. The [***]* is represented on the operator
screen as a series of icons and lines. The topology view will allow navigation
of all the managed objects contained in the [***]*.
ix. Report Generation
One of the goals of the [***]* is to provide the operator with specific
information on the network configuration, the network status, and network
capacity. Reports are used to allow the operator to pass information to other
groups or individuals, to confirm actions or network changes, and to archive
specific information on the network or customer. [***]* will be designed with a
reporting subsystem that is used to define, generate, and display reports for
the operator. Standard reports will be pre-defined, but the operator may add
additional customized reports as desired.
Reports can be displayed on the operator screen, output to a specified
printer, or saved into a file on either the [***]* server, or on the operator
terminal.
x. Alarm Management and Localization
------------------------
* CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
24
40
[***]* includes the ability to process and display alarm and event
information that is received from the network elements. The events are captured
and stored in the [***]* database and may be retrieved at any time. The [***]*
can [***]* event messages before they are forwarded to the uplink, thus reducing
the volume of traffic sent to the upper management system. If the operator has
the alarm manager feature enabled, elements of the [***]* will change color to
indicate the severity of the fault. The event information is also mapped onto a
set of counters, which indicate the total number of event messages that have
been received for each category. Reports will be available that list outstanding
events, as well as details for the event record.
xi. Performance Management
The [***]* provides a set of functions that can collect [***]*
performance information from the [***]*, and store that information into a
database for later reporting. The performance information can be exported to
external applications as desired to provide analysis and graphing capabilities.
Detailed performance studies can be conducted to allow the operator to analyze
the operation of [***]* over any 15 minute interval.
xii. [***]* Management
[***]* will provide complete management of all [***]*, including the
following:
- Current alarm [***]*,
- Event history [***]*,
- System event [***]*,
- Performance history [***]*,
Allows the performance information to be stored in the [***]* and later
output as a report or a histogram.
- Operator [***]*,
- Message [***]*,
The capacity of the raw message [***]* will be designed to accommodate
the messages from one full day of [***]* operation.
- SW download status.
Each stage of the download and activation process should be logged, so
if any faults occur, the operator can analyze the problem.

DATABASE
The [***]* will provide comprehensive database functionality. The
database module will be able to store the necessary information in a persistent
storage (database). This module will also provide capability to backup and
restore the database. It also provides a database monitoring function in order
to detect % usage of database and other necessary statistics.

2. Proposed Architecture
This section briefly describes the architecture being proposed for the
implementation of [***]*.
a. Design Philosophy
The system architecture for the [***]* will be implemented using
distributed object oriented techniques to allow feature and capacity
enhancements to be developed with minimum impact to the core functionality of
the [***]*. It will be designed to allow the external interfaces to be modified
easily as the needs of the customer change, and standardized interfaces are
developed. The core functionality will be shielded from the external interfaces
via strictly defined and maintained APIs, and interaction between functional
sections of the system should also be structured so that enhancements to one
feature or function will have predictable and limited impact to all other areas
of the system. The [***]* specific functions and databases will be isolated from
the main system and be easy to test and configure to minimize maintenance over
the product lifetime.
b. Overview
The system architecture for this approach is shown in Figure 2.

[***]* commands to the [***]* gateway which in turn are sent to the
[***]*. This access interface can be used by any other [***]* client.
- SECURITY MODULE: This module provides a simple user management functionality
to the system. This involves maintaining:
- user ids and password
- permitted privileged operations per given user
- PERFORMANCE MODULE: This module does the performance monitoring function
- LOGGER MODULE: This module maintains different kinds of audit trails/logs
for different operations performed by [***]*. This will be useful for
report generation.
- DATABASE INTERFACE: This module involves updating the database with
application data, performance data, log data, security data.
- FAULT MODULE : This module receives alarms and notifications from the
[***]*, stores them in the local database and forward them to the [***]*
for display.
- CONFIGURATION MODULE: This module receives configuration requests from the
[***]*, formats the data and forwards them to the [***]*.

- REPORTING MODULE: This module receives report generation requests from
the [***]* and generates reports using the data from the local database.
- PROTOCOL CONVERSION AND ROUTING: This module performs the necessary
conversion between the internal data and the [***]* data. The converted
data is then routed to the [***]*.
Please refer to Section 0 for the list of assumptions.

- Scalable
- Open [***]* interface allows any application to interface with the
[***]* via the [***]* Gateway
iv. System Reliability
It should be noted that the initial versions of the software will not
comply the reliability expectations stated below.
Reliability is a very important aspect of this system. The system is
assumed to be operating 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week. The basic
architecture and improved CPU should assume that maintenance and upgrades could
be done without a system outage. The element managers in the system will also be
offered in redundant configurations, so the total system behavior must be
defined. Users should not be required to take any action when a system
switch-over occurs, although it may be acceptable to suspend operator activity
until the [***]* is stabilized. The operator will NOT need to login to regain
control of the system.
v. Extensibility and Growth.
The [***]* will be designed so that the system can be easily extended to
support [***]*.
