This Recommendation specifies those equipment management function (EMF) requirements that
are common to multiple transport technologies. Eventually this Recommendation will include all
the common management functions. This Recommendation specifies the capabilities required no
matter what technology and where there are differences in requirements for a given feature between
technologies, the requirements will be specified in the technology-specific Recommendation. See
Appendix I for an overview of common and technology-specific Recommendations. A future
version of this Recommendation will elaborate on specific requirements within a given capability.
It must be noted that for a network element (NE) it is not mandatory to support all described
applications, and consequently not all specified functions. Depending on the position in the
network, the NE may support a subset of the functions. Packages with subsets of these functions can
be found in the technology-specific Recommendations.
