Abstract

The Unified Network Management Architecture (UNMA), developed by AT&T to provide a base for network management in a multilevel environment, is discussed. The functions of data management addressed by UNMA are delineated. These comprise five functional areas recognized by the standards groups working in network management, namely configuration, faults, performance, accounting, and security, as well as the four functional areas of planning, operations, programmability, and integrated control specified by AT&T. The family of products introduced to support UNMA is described.<>
