METHOD OF PUTTING IN AUTOMATIC SURVEILLANCE PRACTICE OF A TANDEM CONCATENATION AND ASSOCIATED APPARATUS.

摘要

A method for the automatic realization of a Tandem Concatenation Surveillance, TCM, characterized in that it comprises: the request (S01), for each sub-network of a plurality of sub-networks, of a network management system for a necessary number of TCM levels; the allocation (S02), by the network management system, of TCM levels available for a pair of network nodes in the sub-network; the execution (S03), by the pair of network nodes in the sub-network, of a TCM treatment, the mapping (S03) of TCM usage information in a corresponding overflow, the direct transfer (S03) of the usage information TCM with TCM overflow installation and communication (S03) of the TCM information to the network management system and the extraction (S04), by the network management system, of monitored TCM information, quality determination (S04) of transmission of each of the sub-networks and the location (S04) of a network anomaly.
