2 Logical Data Model Foundation

The logical data model of the Oracle Communications Data Model defines the business entities and their relationships and provides an understanding of the business and data requirements for the Oracle Communications Data Model data warehouse.

Logical Entities for Business Areas

Lists the logical entities in the data model, grouped by business area.

Note:

The notion of a business area is not strict. That is, some business areas are overlapping. Thus, a logical entity can belong to, or be needed in, several business areas. Some logical entities are not explicitly listed because they either only represent a relationship between tables, are not critically important to any business area, or are simply lookup entities.

The following are the business area logical data model entities:

Note:

The business area figures showing complete diagrams with attributes and entities are available with the Oracle Communications Data Model IP Patch. The IP Patch includes additional documentation. To obtain the IP Patch and for the latest information about Oracle Communications Data Model patch sets, go to My Oracle Support at https://support.oracle.com.

ATM INTERFACE

Reference

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), is a network technology based on transferring data in cells of a fixed size. The cell used with ATM is relatively small compared to that used with older technologies. In principle, the small, constant cell size allows ATM equipment to transmit video, audio, and computer data over the same network, and assure that no single type of data can dominate network traffic. ATM creates a fixed route between two points whenever data transfer begins. This differs from TCP/IP, in which messages are divided into packets and each packet can take a different route from source to destination. This difference makes it easier to track and bill data usage across an ATM network, but it makes it less adaptable to sudden surges in network traffic.

AUXILIARY COMPONENT

Reference

This entity represents managed entities, such as power supplies, fans, and cables, which are required for the proper operation of the Device but have a primary function that is different than the primary end-user function(s) of the Device.

The difference between Auxiliary Components and other subclasses of EQUIPMENT are whether the physical object performs a function intrinsic to the main function of the Device. For example, consider a ROUTER. The routers main function is to route and forward packets. A Power Supply is an Auxiliary Component, because even though it is needed for the proper operation of the ROUTER, it does not directly help in routing and forwarding packets. A Line Card, that provides routing functionality, is a subclass of EQUIPMENT because its purpose is to route and forward packets. Similar examples exist for different types of equipment, where their criteria may be different. For example, instead of whether it routes or forwards packets, the criterion "does it carry signal" may be useful to appropriately classify components.

The key difference between network element and COMPOUND RESOURCE is that network element describes either a Physical or a Logical entity. In contrast, COMPOUND RESOURCE describes managed entities that are collections of other managed entities. A key point is that each managed entity that is part of a COMPOUND RESOURCE can be individually managed as either a PHYSICAL RESOURCE or a LOGICAL RESOURCE.

The key difference between a Compound Resource Spec and either a PHYSICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATION and a LOGICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATION is that a PHYSICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATION and LOGICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATION define templates for specifying the invariant characteristics and behavior of PHYSICAL RESOURCEs and LOGICAL RESOURCEs, respectively. In contrast, a Compound Resource Spec describes templates that contain at least one PHYSICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATION and at least one LOGICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATION. Optionally, one or more Compound Resource Specs may also be specified. Thus, a Compound Resource Spec is in effect a "shorthand notation" for specifying complementary PHYSICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATIONs and LOGICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATIONs.

This entity describes specific attributes, behavior, relationships, constraints, and semantics for building COMPOUND RESOURCE objects. The purpose of this entity is to track specifications of COMPOUND RESOURCEs separately from other types of Resource Specifications. This entity inherits the Modifies Resource Spec aggregation, and therefore can be used with the corresponding COMPOUND RESOURCE entity. The key difference between a COMPOUND RESOURCE SPEC and either a PHYSICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATION and a Logical Resource Type is that a PHYSICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATION and Logical Resource Type define templates for specifying the invariant characteristics and behavior of PHYSICAL RESOURCEs and LOGICAL RESOURCEs, respectively. In contrast, a COMPOUND RESOURCE SPEC describes templates that contain at least one PHYSICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATION and at least one Logical Resource Type. Optionally, one or more COMPOUND RESOURCE SPECs may also be specified. The difference between a Compound Resource Spec Atomic entity and a COMPOUND RESOURCE SPECIFICATION COMPOSITE entity is that a Compound Resource Spec Atomic entity is designed to be a standalone entity.

Note that it still aggregates at least one PHYSICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATION and at least one Logical Resource Type; however, the result is that this Compound Resource Spec Atomic entity can be used by itself.) In contrast, a COMPOUND RESOURCE SPECIFICATION COMPOSITE entity is made up of one or more COMPOUND RESOURCE SPECs, one of which must be a Compound Resource Spec Atomic entity.

COMPOUND RESOURCE SPECIFICATION COMPOSITE

Reference

This entity describes specific attributes, behavior, relationships, constraints, and semantics for building composite COMPOUND RESOURCE objects. The purpose of this entity is to track specifications of COMPOUND RESOURCEs separately from other types of Resource Specifications.

This entity inherits the modifies Resource Spec aggregation, and therefore can be used with the corresponding COMPOUND RESOURCE entity. The key difference between a COMPOUND RESOURCE SPEC and either a PHYSICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATION and a Logical Resource Type is that a PHYSICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATION and Logical Resource Type define templates for specifying the invariant characteristics and behavior of PHYSICAL RESOURCEs and LOGICAL RESOURCEs, respectively. In contrast, a COMPOUND RESOURCE SPEC describes templates that contain at least one PHYSICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATION and at least one Logical Resource Type. Optionally, one or more COMPOUND RESOURCE SPECs may also be specified. The difference between a COMPOUND RESOURCE SPECIFICATION ATOMIC entity and a Compound Resource Spec Composite entity is that a COMPOUND RESOURCE SPECIFICATION COMPOSITE entity is designed to be a standalone entity. (Note that it still aggregates at least one PHYSICAL RESOURCE SPECIFICATION and at least one Logical Resource Type; however, the result is that this COMPOUND RESOURCE SPECIFICATION ATOMIC entity can be used by itself.) In contrast, a Compound Resource Spec Composite entity is made up of one or more COMPOUND RESOURCE SPECs, one of which must be a COMPOUND RESOURCE SPECIFICATION COMPOSITE entity.

COMPOUND RESOURCE UNIT

Reference

A Resource Unit is an entity that is individually manageable. The Compound Resource Unit is an aggregate entity consisting of both physical and logical aspects of a managed Resource. For example, a ROUTER is a Resource Unit. Different PHYSICAL RESOURCE objects can model the physical aspects of the ROUTER in detail. For example, its CARDs, the number and type of PHYSICAL PORTs that are on each CARD, and so forth), and different LOGICAL RESOURCE objects can model the logical aspects of the ROUTER in detail (For example, what Software it is running, how many DEVICE INTERFACEs of what type are currently enabled, if there are any outstanding Faults or Alarms, and so forth). Resource aggregates all PHYSICAL RESOURCE and LOGICAL RESOURCE objects, enabling a high-level view of the physical and logical aspects of the Resource to be provided.

POLICY BROKER

TBS

POLICY SERVERs affect ManagedEntities in a particular POLICY DOMAIN, and are coordinated through a POLICY BROKER. The purpose of the POLICY BROKER is to control how different POLICY SERVERs interact with each other. In this regard, it has two different functions:

  • The first function is to ensure that conflicts between different policy rules do not exist when different POLICY SERVERs are asked to work together.

  • The second is to coordinate the application of different policies in different POLICY SERVERs.

(TMF SID)

POLICY BROKER POLICY SERVER ASSIGNMENT

TBS

Description Details the semantics of the BrokerCoordinates association, which defines which POLICY SERVERs are coordinated by which POLICY BROKERs.This association defines the set of POLICY SERVERs that this POLICY BROKER coordinates the actions of.

POLICY BROKER ROLE

TBS

Defines the concept of various types of roles used to describe POLICY BROKERs and their use in the DEN-ng model.A PolicyBrokerRole refines the generic concepts of a POLICY APPLICATION ROLE. Specifically, this base class is used to describe generic functionality inherent in a POLICY BROKER. For example, this includes the ability to present and negotiate functionality that is traded between different POLICY SERVERs in different POLICY DOMAINs, as well as the ability to control the functions of a POLICY SERVER.(TMF SID)

POLICY CONDITION

Reference

This entity represents how to form the condition clause of a POLICY RULE. This entity represents rule-specific or reusable policy conditions. POLICY conditions are of the form: {variable, operator, value} where the operator is usually the MATCH operator, but could be another type (for example, compare) of operator. This gives the semantics of "IF the condition is TRUE (or FALSE)". The subclasses of POLICY CONDITION, along with its recursive aggregation, enable simple and compound (for example, nested) POLICY CONDITIONs to be supported by the same structure.

POLICY CONDITION ASSIGNMENT

Reference

This entity specifies the semantics needed for the POLICY CONDITION in POLICY CONDITION aggregation. This aggregation defines the set of POLICY CONDITIONs that are contained in this POLICY CONDITION.

POLICY CONDITION ATOMIC

Reference

This is the base entity for all simple policy conditions. A simple policy condition consists of a single Boolean clause, which tests a single condition. This consists of a single occurrence of a POLICY STATEMENT, which is of the form: {variable, operator, value} This design relies on the POLICY STATEMENT to supply the actual terms to form the condition clause. Thus, since everything is normalized to a condition clause, no subclasses of Policy Condition Atomic are needed. Instead, subclasses of the appropriate POLICY STATEMENT classes are provided. A compound POLICY CONDITION consists of one or more POLICY CONDITIONs contained inside a higher-level POLICY CONDITION. These can optionally be grouped by a POLICY CONDITION COMPOSITE object if desired.

POLICY CONDITION COMPOSITE

Reference

The POLICY CONDITION COMPOSITE entity is the base entity for all complex policy conditions. A complex policy condition consists of an aggregation of POLICY CONDITION ATOMIC and POLICY CONDITION COMPOSITE objects, which in turn form a complex Boolean statement. Such an object still evaluates to a single Boolean TRUE or FALSE value.

Conceptually, this is a standalone object that consists of one POLICY CONDITION that provides an overall context for either a nested or a group of subordinate POLICY CONDITIONs to be evaluated.

POLICY CONDITION RULE ASSIGNMENT

Reference

This entity specifies the semantics needed for the POLICY CONDITION In POLICY RULE aggregation. This aggregation defines the set of POLICY CONDITIONs that are contained in this POLICY RULE. The Contained Policy Condition Details entity and the Policy Condition Rule Details entity have conceptually the same attributes. This is because they both provide semantics to form a condition expression. The difference lies in their placement relative to the POLICY RULE entity. That is, the Contained Policy Condition Details entity combines individual expressions within a condition clause, whereas the Policy Condition Rule Details entity describes how the completed condition clause appears to the POLICY RULE.

POLICY CONDITION SPECIFICATION

Reference

Lists the invariant characteristics (attributes, methods, constraints and relationships) of a POLICY CONDITION (TMF SID).

POLICY CONDITION TIME PERIOD

Reference

Lists the various Time Period with POLICY CONDITION. It gives the capability of enabling or disabling a POLICY CONDITION according to a pre-determined time schedule.

POLICY CONFIG ACTION ROLE

Reference

Defines the concept of various types of roles used to describe processes that control processes that can change the configuration of a Managed Object, and their use in the DEN-ng model.A POLICY CONFIG ACTION ROLE refines the generic concepts of a POLICY CONFIG ROLE. Specifically, this base class is used to describe different processes required to create, edit, restore, or delete all or part of a configuration of a Managed Object.(TMF SID)

POLICY CONFIG DECISION ROLE

TBS

Defines the concept of various types of roles used to describe processes that control configuration processes, and their use in the DEN-ng model.A POLICY CONFIG DECISION ROLE refines the generic concepts of a POLICY CONFIG ROLE. Specifically, this base class is used to describe different processes required to request decisions involving the monitoring, changing and/or verifying of the configuration of a Managed Object. These processes will orchestrate the use of one or more instances of other POLICY CONFIG ROLE as part of executing the configuration decision.(TMF SID

POLICY CONFIG ROLE

TBS

Defines the concept of various types of roles used to describe configuration monitoring and checking, and their use in the DEN-ng model.A POLICY CONFIG ROLE refines the generic concepts of a POLICY APPLICATION ROLE. Specifically, this base class is used to describe different processes required to check, change, and verify changes in the configuration of a Managed Object. For example, this includes the ability to retrieve a configuration for examination, as well as to construct, approve and deploy changes to that configuration. (TMF SID)

POLICY CONFIG VALIDATION ROLE

TBS

Defines the concept of various types of roles used to describe processes that control configuration verification processes, and their use in the DEN-ng model.A POLICY CONFIG VALIDATION ROLE refines the generic concepts of a POLICY CONFIG ROLE. Specifically, this base class is used to describe different processes required to validate changes made to a configuration of a Managed Object.(TMF SID)

POLICY DECISION POINT

TBS

Type of POLICY APPLICATION. It makes policy decisions for itself or for other entities that request such decisions, such as POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINTs (PEPs) and POLICY EXECUTION POINTs (PXPs). One or more POLICY DECISION POINTs are contained in a POLICY SERVER.PDPs use policies to configure or answer queries from policy-capable network elements or from an operator of the PBNM system. An example of a query is an RSVP admission request - a decision must be made to either accept or reject the request by the receiving network element. Since the network element doesn't have any idea about the overall state of the network, it makes a request of the PDP, asking the PDP if the RSVP request should be allowed. Thus, the PDP serves as the interface between the network and higher level processes.(TMF SID)

POLICY DECISION POINT MANAGED ENTITY ASSIGNMENT

TBS

Associates all the possible POLICY DECISION POINTs to a Managed Entity (M:N relationship) as defined by "POLICY DECISION REQUESTED BY (a managed entity)" relationship.Details the semantics of the PolicyDecisionRequestedBy association. This association defines the set of PolicyDecisions that are requested by a ManagedEntity.The PolicyDecisionRequestedBy association defines the set of PolicyDecisions that are requested by a ManagedEntity. The semantics of this association are implemented by the DecisionRequestedDetails association class. This starts the management closed loop system by a request for a policy decision. Note that the full model allows for events and other entities to request policy decisions, not just ManagedEntities.(TMF SID)

POLICY DECISION POINT POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT ASSIGNMENT

TBS

Associates Policy Decision Point to Policy Enforcement Point as "PDP Directs Enforcement Of PEP".Defines the semantics of the DirectsEnforcementOf association. This association defines the set of POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINTs that are managed by this POLICY DECISION POINT.This association defines the set of POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINTs that a given POLICY DECISION POINT can direct.The semantics of this association are implemented using the PEPDirectionsDetails association class.The cardinality of this association is 1 on the POLICY DECISION POINT side and 1..n on the POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINTside. This means that a POLICY DECISION POINT can provide decisions for one or more POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT (note that without a POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT a POLICY DECISION POINT is useless). However, if multiple POLICY DECISION POINTs are allowed to tell a given POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT what to do, then there is no guarantee that the POLICY DECISION POINTs won't conflict with each other. Thus, there can only be one POLICY DECISION POINT for a given POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT.

POLICY DECISION POINT POLICY EXECUTION POINT ASSIGNMENT

TBS

Associates the PDP and the PXP (PDP "DirectsExecutionOf" PXP relationship).Details the semantics of the DirectsExecutionOf association. This association defines the set of POLICY EXECUTION POINTs that are managed by this POLICY DECISION POINT.This association defines the set of POLICY EXECUTION POINT that a given POLICY DECISION POINT can direct.The semantics of this association are implemented using the PXPDirectionDetails association class.The cardinality of this association is 1 on the POLICY DECISION POINT side and 1..n on the POLICY EXECUTION POINT side. This means that a POLICY DECISION POINT can provide decisions for one or more POLICY EXECUTION POINTs (note that without a POLICY EXECUTION POINT, a POLICY DECISION POINT is useless). However, if multiple POLICY DECISION POINTs are allowed to tell a given POLICY EXECUTION POINT what to do, then there is no guarantee that the POLICY DECISION POINTs won't conflict with each other. Thus, there can only be one POLICY DECISION POINT for a given POLICY EXECUTION POINT.

POLICY DOMAIN

Reference

A PolicyDomain is a collection of entities and services that are administered in a coordinated fashion using a set of policies. The policies are used to control the set of services and entities according to a common methodology, such as a finite state machine. (TMF SID).

POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT

TBS

Type of POLICY APPLICATION, and is used to verify that a prescribed set of POLICY ACTIONs have been successfully executed on a set of PolicyTargets.A POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT serves as an interface between the devices that policy is executed on and the policy decision-makers (such as the POLICY DECISION POINT) of the policy. POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINTs request work to be performed from POLICY DECISION POINTs, and then enforce decisions made by POLICY EXECUTION POINTs on their PolicyTargets. One or more POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINTs are contained in a POLICY SERVER.The combination of a POLICY EXECUTION POINT and a POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT enable the act of executing a decision (made by a POLICY EXECUTION POINT) to be separated from the act of ensuring that the executing actions were performed correctly, and had the desired results (both of these latter two functions are performed by the POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT).

POLICY EVENT

Base

Represents an aggregation of Policy Events, constrained according to the eventConstraint attribute of the Event Details aggregation entity. This set of Policy Events is then presented to one or more POLICY RULEs to trigger the evaluation of their condition clauses. This entity enables an external application, such as a POLICY SERVER, to dynamically adjust the set of events that are being used to trigger the evaluation of a POLICY RULE.

POLICY EVENT ASSIGNMENT

TBS

Type of POLICY APPLICATION, and is used to verify that a prescribed set of POLICY ACTIONs have been successfully executed on a set of PolicyTargets.A POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT serves as an interface between the devices that policy is executed on and the policy decision-makers (such as the POLICY DECISION POINT) of the policy. POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINTs request work to be performed from POLICY DECISION POINTs, and then enforce decisions made by POLICY EXECUTION POINTs on their PolicyTargets. One or more POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINTs are contained in a POLICY SERVER.The combination of a POLICY EXECUTION POINT and a POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT enable the act of executing a decision (made by a POLICY EXECUTION POINT) to be separated from the act of ensuring that the executing actions were performed correctly, and had the desired results (both of these latter two functions are performed by the POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT).

POLICY EXECUTION POINT POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT ASSIGNMENT

TBS

The combination of a POLICY EXECUTION POINT and a POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT enable the act of executing a decision (made by a POLICY DECISION POINT) to be separated from the act of ensuring that the executing actions were performed correctly, and had the desired resultsIn contrast to the DirectsExecution association, the cardinality of this association is 1..n on both sides. Each side is 1..n because all POLICY EXECUTION POINTs must have at least one associated POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT, but may have more (if, for example, different POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINTs are used for different functions that are controlled in a POLICY EXECUTION POINT). This ensure that the POLICY ACTIONs sent by a POLICY EXECUTION POINT can be checked (by the POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT). Some POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINTs, however, are capable of enforcing multiple POLICY EXECUTION POINT, and a POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT is only relevant if it enforces the actions of a POLICY EXECUTION POINT.

Details the semantics of the EnforcesExecutionOf association. This association defines the set of POLICY EXECUTION POINT whose actions are enforced by a particular POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT.

(TMF SID).

POLICY GROUP

Reference

This entity is a generalized aggregation container. A Policy Group enables POLICY RULEs and POLICY GROUPs to be aggregated in a single container. Note that loops, including the degenerate case of a POLICY GROUP that contains itself, are not allowed when POLICY GROUPs contain other POLICY GROUPs.

POLICY GROUP EXECUTION DETAIL

Reference

This is an association entity that defines the semantics associated with a Policy Event Set being applied to a POLICY GROUP. Specifically, it controls through its Execution Filter attribute which components in the POLICY GROUP this Policy Event Set will be passed to, so it can be evaluated.

Defines the relationship between POLICY OPERATOR and POLICY VARIABLE.

POLICY POLICY ACTION ASSIGNMENT

Reference

A POLICY EXECUTION POINT is an entity that is used to execute a prescribed set of POLICY ACTIONs on a set of PolicyTargets.The combination of a POLICY EXECUTION POINT and a POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT enable the act of executing a decision (made by a POLICY DECISION POINT) to be separated from the act of ensuring that the executing actions were performed correctly, and had the desired results

POLICY REPOSITORY

TBS

Description This class represents an administratively-defined logical container for storing reusable policy-related information.This is defined as POLICY GROUPs, POLICY RULEs, POLICY CONDITIONs, POLICY ACTIONs, and POLICY STATEMENTs. It can also store metadata about these policy-related objects.For the purposes of this definition:

  • Administratively-defined means that it resides in a single policy domain.

  • Logical container means that it may be implemented as either separate data store, or a special area of a data store that is used expressly to contain policy information.

  • Policy information means policy rules and groups, their constituent elements, and related data that may be used in the evaluation and/or execution of policy conditions, actions, and other policy component.

(TMF SID)

POLICY RULE

Reference

Entity for realizing the "event-condition-passaction-failaction" semantics that form a the model policy rule. The semantics of this rule are that the rule is evaluated when an event occurs.

POLICY SERVER

TBS

A POLICY SERVER is a fundamental building block of a policy-based management system. It represents both a set of core functionality for implementing policy as well as a unit of distribution in a distributed implementation.With respect to functionality, a POLICY SERVER is an entity that is either manufactured or is constructed by integrating the functionality of different PDPs, PXPs, PEPs, and other applications. These other applications provide the logic to manage and control the set of PDPs, PXPs, and PEPs that constitute a POLICY SERVER.

Specifically, this base class is used to describe generic functionality inherent in a POLICY SERVER. For example, this includes the ability to describe different types of functions (making decisions, changing configurations, and so forth) as well as invoking those functions. Other functions, such as conflict detection, may also be run at a local or global level.(TMF SID).

POLICY SET

Reference

This entity defines two types of collections. POLICY RULE collects Policy Events, POLICY CONDITIONs, and POLICY ACTIONs, while POLICY GROUP collects POLICY RULEs and POLICY GROUPs. Two important and powerful features of this arrangement are that a POLICY SET defines a common decision strategy and a common set of POLICY ROLEs to be used by the POLICY GROUPs and the POLICY RULEs that inherit from it.

POLICY STATEMENT

Reference

This entity models the triplet {variable, operator, value} that is used by both the POLICY CONDITION and POLICY ACTION entities. The semantics are reflected in the types of operators that are allowed to be used in each case. For conditions, users want the semantics of "variable relates to value", where "relates to" is usually the match operator, but could also be other applicable operators (for example, a comparison operator). For actions, users want the semantics of "set variable to value". Here, the only operator allowed is the set operator.

POLICY TABLE

Reference

Lists the Table driven policies, that is policies defined via a table (list) of pair of key and value relationship (column name, column value) itemized sequentially (0 to n). Note that it must be fully defined for a given version.Note: this specific table breaks the 3NF rule for performance purpose.The unique identifier is POLICY TABLE, ITEM SEQUENCE NUMBER and VERSION. Physically, the Primary Key should hence be set on those 3 attributes!

A Resource Facing Service Spec is an abstraction that defines the invariant characteristics and behavior of a particular RESOURCE FACING SERVICE. This is not seen by the Customer. However, it is required by one or more CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE SPECIFICATIONs in order for them to function correctly. The invariant portion serves as a single common basis to build a set of variable RESOURCE FACING SERVICEs that all use this common Resource Facing Service Spec.

SERVICE BUNDLE

Reference

Conceptually, a Service Bundle is thought of as a collection of Resource Facing Service Specifications. This entity enables the needs of different sets of Resource Facing Service Specifications to be grouped together - hence, the name "bundle". Since these are Resource Facing Specifications, they define reusable templates for implementing the Resource Facing Services that are required by a particular CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE (as represented by a SERVICE PACKAGE). Service Bundles were designed to define a set of Class of Service specifications that were required by a CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE to work together. A SERVICE PACKAGE is the entity that models the requirements of the CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE. Thus, SERVICE PACKAGEs can specify different packaging of CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE that are sold to the Customer, and Service Bundles specify the set of Resource Facing Services that each CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE requires. Service Bundles are a natural way to implement the requirements of a SERVICE PACKAGE, and are related to a SERVICE PACKAGE through the Service Package Uses Service Bundles aggregation.

SERVICE BUNDLE SPECIFICATION

Reference

A Service Bundle Spec is the base entity for defining the different classes of bundled Resource Facing Service Specs that a Customer (or some other appropriate PARTY ROLE) can subscribe to. The preferred way to represent a Customer subscription of this nature is by defining a Service Bundle Spec that defines the set of Resource Facing Service Specs that are being used. Conceptually, a Service Bundle Spec is thought of as a collection to enable the needs of different sets of Resource Facing Service Specs to be grouped together. The "bundle" conveys the concept of grouped Service Specs that are related. Since these are Resource Facing Specifications, they define reusable templates for implementing the Resource Facing Services that are required by a particular CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE (as represented by a SERVICE PACKAGE).

SERVICE BUNDLE SPECIFICATION ATOMIC

Reference

A Service Bundle Spec Atomic object models different SERVICE BUNDLE SPECIFICATIONs as a set of different instances of individual, independent Resource Facing Service Specs. This is fundamentally different than the SERVICE BUNDLE SPECIFICATION COMPOSITE entity, which models one SERVICE BUNDLE SPECIFICATION COMPOSITE as the combination of other existing SERVICE PACKAGE SPECIFICATIONs (as well as providing its own extensions). For example, assume that the Gold Package service offering (which is a subclass of Service Package, not SERVICE PACKAGE SPECIFICATION), requires two different CoS Service instances. This may be because the Gold Package service offering has two different groups of applications that require two different types of traffic conditioning mechanisms. This is represented by a Service Bundle Spec Atomic object. Now, assume that the Platinum Package service offering includes the Gold Package service offering and a new service offering requiring a new set of traffic conditioning mechanisms. This requires a second Service Bundle Spec Atomic object, as users want to reuse the first Service Bundle Spec Atomic object. These could be aggregated to form an instance of a SERVICE BUNDLE SPECIFICATION COMPOSITE entity.

SERVICE BUNDLE SPECIFICATION COMPOSITE

Reference

A Service Bundle Spec Composite defines an integrated set of SERVICE BUNDLE SPECIFICATIONs that collectively meets the needs of a Resource Facing Service Spec Composite entity. This is fundamentally different than the Service Bundle Spec Atomic object, which models one Service Bundle Spec as the combination of other existing SERVICE PACKAGE SPECIFICATIONs (as well as providing its own extensions). For example, assume that the Gold Package service offering (which is a subclass of SERVICE PACKAGE, not SERVICE PACKAGE SPECIFICATION), requires two different CoS Service instances. This may be because the Gold Package service offering has two different groups of applications that require two different types of traffic conditioning mechanisms. This is represented by a SERVICE BUNDLE SPECIFICATION ATOMIC entity. Now, assume that the Platinum Package service offering includes the Gold Package service offering and a new service offering requiring a new set of traffic conditioning mechanisms. This requires a second SERVICE BUNDLE SPECIFICATION ATOMIC entity, as you want to reuse the first SERVICE BUNDLE SPECIFICATION ATOMIC entity. These could be aggregated to form an instance of a Service Bundle Spec Composite object.

SERVICE PACKAGE

Reference

A Service Package is derived from an associated SERVICE PACKAGE SPECIFICATION. The SERVICE PACKAGE SPECIFICATION defines the invariant attributes, methods, relationships, and constraints for all Service Package instances that are derived from it. This entity enables each individual Service Package to add its own application-specific changeable characteristics and behavior. There is no specific aggregation used to relate a particular Service Package to the SERVICE PACKAGE SPECIFICATION that it is derived from. This is because the SERVICE PACKAGE SPECIFICATION and Service Package both inherit the Specifies Service aggregation, and at this (the business level) view, there are no new semantics that are required to represent this relationship. Finally, while the composite pattern could be applied to Service Package, there is no perceived need to do so. Multiple Service Packages will simply be aggregated by a Product Bundle, and appear as separate Product Components.

SERVICE PACKAGE BUNDLE DETAIL

Reference

Defines how a type of service bundle can support other types of SERVICE PACKAGEs.

SERVICE PACKAGE SPECIFICATION

Reference

A Service Package Spec defines the concept of bundling a set of different CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE SPECIFICATIONs to meet the functionality specified by one or more Product Specifications. This entity enables the specification of the invariant characteristics and behavior of these CUSTOMER FACING SERVICEs, so that multiple PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONs can be built from their associated Product Specification. Treating this set of CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE SPECIFICATIONs as a single object is important for building complex Services, such as a VPN. This entity enables a single Product Item, derived ultimately from a Product Specification, to be offered to the Customer, even though in reality the Product Item consists of a set of different CUSTOMER FACING SERVICEs that must work to provide the functionality that the Customer needs.

SERVICE PACKAGE SPECIFICATION ATOMIC

Reference

A Service Package Spec Atomic object models different SERVICE PACKAGE SPECIFICATIONs as a set of different instances of individual, independent CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE SPECIFICATIONs. This is fundamentally different than the Service Package Spec Composite object, which models one SERVICE PACKAGE SPECIFICATION as the combination of other existing SERVICE PACKAGE SPECIFICATIONs (as well as providing its own extensions). For example, Gold Package Spec is an individual packaging of services, and is therefore an instance of the Service Package Spec Atomic entity. If there was a service offering that combined the services defined by the Gold Package Spec with those defined by another Service Package Spec Atomic entity, such as the Platinum Package Spec, then that combination could be aggregated, forming an instance of the Service Package Spec Composite entity.

SERVICE ROLE

Reference

This entity defines a SERVICE in terms of a set of roles. The roles are then used to characterize the functionality of the Service, regardless of whether it is a Resource- or a customer-facing service. Service Roles represent the functionality of a Service, and as such are a mix of the invariant and changeable characteristics and behavior of a Service. Representing a SERVICE in terms of Service Roles enables the functionality of the SERVICE to be defined independently of Business Actor, PHYSICAL RESOURCE, LOGICAL RESOURCE, or other Services.

SERVICE SPECIFICATION

Reference

Specifies the service specification hierarchy. All SERVICE are characterized as either being directly visible and usable by a CUSTOMER or not. This gives rise to the two subclasses of SERVICE: CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE and RESOURCE FACING SERVICE. However, each instance of a SERVICE is made up of changeable as well as invariant attributes, methods, relationships and constraints. A SERVICE SPECIFICATION defines the invariant characteristics of a SERVICE. It can be conceptually thought of as a template that different SERVICE instances can be instantiated from. Each of these SERVICE instances will have the same invariant characteristics. However, the other characteristics of the instantiated SERVICE will be specific to each instance.

SERVICE SPECIFICATION ATOMIC

Reference

This entity defines SERVICE SPECIFICATIONs that do not have any subordinate SERVICE SPECIFICATIONs. In other words, a ServiceSpecAtomic is a standalone SERVICE SPECIFICATION, and does not require any supporting SERVICE SPECIFICATIONs to define the invariant characteristics of Services that it serves as a template for.

SERVICE SPECIFICATION CHARACTERISTIC

Reference

This entity represents the key features of this Service Specification. For example, bandwidth is characteristic of many different types of services; if bandwidth is important (for example, from the point-of-view of a Customer purchasing this Service) then bandwidth would be a Service Characteristic for that particular SERVICE. Note that in this example, bandwidth would have to be defined as an invariant feature that multiple Services use. Otherwise, it should be defined as a Service Characteristic.

SOFTWARE

Reference

This entity represents software. Software represents the set of user visible functions and processes that are contained in a device. The Has Software Features association defines software that is associated with a LOGICAL DEVICE, such as programs and operating systems. Since this software can be associated with devices and/or device components, this association is defined between the roots of the two classes. Software may be nested within other software, thereby creating a containment relationship (which is part of the system view). Currently, the subclasses of this class reflect user-facing features. For example, features that are manageable, configurable, and executable by users and applications. Internationalization and Language functionality are supported by creating a Software Uses Language association to the Language classes.

SOFTWARE ATOMIC

Reference

This entity represents atomic units of software that are individually manageable and do not form composite, or nested, software units. From a finite state machine view, each Software Atomic element is not just individually manageable, but is also installable, executable, and runnable. In addition, each Software Atomic element can be a FRU. This is the super-class for creating concrete subclasses that define particular functionality. For example, a device driver, or software that implements MPLS as part of a larger routing software package.

SOFTWARE COMMAND

Reference

Software Commands describe the sets of features that are programmable by a particular PARTY ROLE. For example, a Developer, or Network Operator, and in rare cases, an End User. This should not be confused with Capabilities. Capabilities define what features and functions are available at a given moment for the RESOURCE. Thus, Software Commands represent the specific commands that are available in a device, whereas Capabilities represent higher-level generic functions available in a RESOURCE. For example, the ability to perform BGP routing is a Capability, whereas the actual commands used to implement BGP routing are Software Commands.

SOFTWARE COMPOSITE

Reference

This entity represents software units that are made up of other software units (that is, instances of this entity and the Software Atomic base entity). This provides the semantics of collecting a set of components, each of which is individually manageable, and being able to manage the set of objects as a whole. An example is an operating system - this is manageable as a unit, but consists of individually manageable components. This containment is modeled using the Contains Software Components composition. From a finite state machine view, each Software Composite element is manageable, installable, executable, and runnable. In addition, each Software Composite element can be a FRU. This is the super-class for creating concrete subclasses that define groups of functionality. For example, set of features that work to provide application-level functionality to the end-user.

SOFTWARE FEATURE SETS

Reference

Software Feature Sets describe the groups of Software Commands that distinguish a particular release of Software. The Software Commands contained in the Software Feature Sets are programmable by a particular PARTY ROLE (for example, a Developer, or Network Operator, and in rare cases and End User). Often, Software Feature Sets are used by the manufacturer to define a custom or semi-custom build of software, or are provided as a set of options that are orderable by the Customer. This should not be confused with Capabilities. Capabilities define what features and functions are available at a given moment for the RESOURCE. Thus, Software Feature Sets represent groups of commands that are available in a device, whereas Capabilities represent higher-level generic functions available in a RESOURCE. For example, the ability to perform BGP routing is a Capability, whereas the actual commands used to implement BGP routing are Software Commands that reside in one or more Software Feature Sets. Hence, Software Feature Sets may or may not offer BGP as a programmable feature.

SOFTWARE OS RELATIONSHIP

SWITCHING PROTOCOL

Reference

This entity represents different types of switching protocols that can be managed. Switching protocols are those protocols that enable routing to consider layer two information, such as bandwidth and QoS. Traditional routing protocols are designed to evaluate each frame's layer three header only. Several methods are available for accomplishing the task of looking at layer two information and defining a next hop. Most now use the concept of a label, which is a means to define the next hop without evaluating all of the information of a traditional header.

SWITCHING ROLE

Reference

Abstracts the different routing capabilities necessary for a LOGICAL DEVICE to have. This helps simplify the modeling of (especially) network devices, which have many different sets of capabilities. For example, most routers can do routing, forwarding, and firewalling of traffic. By modeling these capabilities as three roles, switch functionality is both abstracted and categorized, so that the differences between forwarding traffic done by a router and forwarding traffic done by a L3 switch can be differentiated.

The valueModelClass is a string attribute that defines the entity name whose attribute is to be evaluated or set as a POLICY VALUE. This combination enables new custom subclasses of Value Custom to be defined that specify the entity and attribute that they are modeling. These new subclasses can be found by users of the current the model schema by searching for these two properties. That also enables the model users to immediately understand the purpose of new extensions.
