Resumen:
The evolution of the current telecommunications systems has created an
environment composed of heterogeneous networks and equipments, with a plethora of
services and an increasing number of users. Management of such a complex network is
fundamental to deliver the quality of service and profit the telecommunications business
demands.
One of the main goals of the telecommunications business is to maximize the plant
productivity and optimize the use of available resources. The multi-vendor characteristic of
most telecommunication plants makes it difficult to adopt a TMN approach as a primary
paradigm. Intermediate solutions have been searched as options to provide certain functions
of management to equipment from different vendors.
The project which is the subject of this dissertation presents a cost effective solution
to implement the performance management of a heterogeneous telephonic network. It is a
software system that monitors the traffic and utilization rate of a previously defined set of
central offices (switches), e.g, NEAX 61 BR, produced by NEC, Tropico-RA and Tropico-
R, produced by CPqD, in order to determine the global efficiency of the network. The
system has been implemented and deployed in Telemar-Paraiba, former Telpa, as an
operations system which is part of the TMN development effort of the company.
