A system (DGM) is dedicated to end-to-end parameter measurement management for a network management system (NMS) of a packet-oriented communications network including a multiplicity of peripheral equipments (EP). The parameter measurement management system (DGM) comprises management means (MG) adapted to send selected peripheral equipments (EP) selected filter definitions associated with selected filter identifiers, correlation means (MCN) adapted to correlate each notification including a selected filter identifier received from an ingress peripheral equipment (EP-1) with a selected set of notifications received from egress peripheral equipments (EP-2, EP-3) and including a filter identifier having one or more relationship links with the selected filter identifier, and calculation means (MCM) adapted to derive parameter measurements from values contained in the correlated notifications.
A traffic filtering management system (DGF) for a peripheral equipment (EP) of a packet-oriented communications network, the system comprising traffic analysis means (MA) adapted to determine representative values of selected received traffic parameters as a function of one or more selected traffic filters and to send the values in the form of notifications to a network management system (NMS) of said network for it to determine measurements of said selected parameters, which system is characterized in that it comprises control means (MCT) adapted to supply each selected traffic filter to said traffic analysis means (MA), and processing means (MT) adapted to add a selected filter identifier to each notification generated by said analysis means (MA) following a traffic analysis corresponding to said selected filter, and before it is sent to said network management system (NMS).
A peripheral equipment (EP) for a packet-oriented communications network, comprising traffic analysis means (MA) adapted to determine representative values of selected received traffic parameters as a function of one or more selected traffic filters and to send the values in the form of notifications to a network management system (NMS) of said network (N) for it to determine measurements of said selected parameters, which equipment is characterized in that it comprises a traffic filtering management system (DGF) according to the preceding claim.
An end-to-end parameter measurement management system (DGM) for a network management system (NMS) of a packet-oriented communications network including a multiplicity of peripheral equipments (EP) according to the preceding claim, said parameter measurement management system (DGM) including calculation means (MCM) adapted to derive parameter measurements from representative values of said parameters contained in notifications coming from an ingress peripheral equipment (EP-1) and egress peripheral equipments (EP-2, EP-3), which system is characterized in that it comprises management means (MG) adapted to send selected peripheral equipments (EP) selected filter definitions associated with selected filter identifiers, and correlation means (MCN) adapted to correlate each notification including a selected filter identifier received from an ingress peripheral equipment (EP-1) with a selected set of notifications received from egress peripheral equipments (EP-2, EP-3) and including a filter identifier having one or more relationship links with said selected filter identifier so that said calculation means (MCM) are able to derive parameter measurements from values contained in said correlated notifications.
