Problems solved by technology

If the back office could not support the measurement, it could have quickly introduced new installations and services, but the loss of management control was expensive, which could include installation, maintenance, fault determination, and billing

Embodiment Construction

[0025] Figure 1 is an overview of a conventional operations support system of the prior art and shows three different aspects; namely the physical equipment 10 of the network, the operations support system 11 managing the network 10; and representing the system operation from customer service to actual equipment Process 12.

[0026] A network device 10 as a high level view of a current implementation of a telephone network, a set of switches 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106 are shown. Class 5 switches, such as switches 104, 105, 106, implement local services and are used to connect subscribers together, such as subscribers 108 and 108-1. An increasing trend starting as early as the eighties has connected subscribers to remote line terminal units called digital loop carriers, such as DLC107. DLC 107 provides a direct interface to various services of subscribers 108 and 108-1.

[0027] In operation, if a user 108 makes a call, its line is terminated by the DLC 107 and, if the c...

Abstract

In one embodiment, a new device or service can be treated as an abstraction, allowing a model to be created which mimics operation of the device or service, but which does not physically exist. A communication system may then take physical assets that are distributed around a network, such as circuit packs with ports on them, and virtually plug them into a shelf that does not physically exist. A legacy system preferably continues to function as it always has and the abstraction mediates between the legacy operations support systems, the virtual machine and the physical reality. This then allows for the continued use of existing operation systems to manage new network architectures with services different from those originally contemplated by the legacy operations support systems.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to communication network systems, and more particularly to deploying new products and services using conventional management provisioning systems. Background technique [0002] Large networks, such as communication networks, must be able to deploy and implement new services cost-effectively. These systems are complex by their nature and often rely on a set of operating systems that reside in the carrier's back office and control the flow of commands that provide and maintain the physical devices that ultimately actually manage the network devices. [0003] The provisioning flow often starts with a request from the customer, which is taken by the customer service representative, moves through the service management layer, to the network management layer, and finally to the physical device. This system allows the carrier to process and fulfill orders for services in an orderly manner. Because of the large number of such co...
