scope:

The present document specifies the Generic network resource information that can be communicated between an IRPAgent and an IRPManager in the deployment scenarios using IRP framework as defined in TS 32.102 [2], or between an MnS producer and MnS consumer in deployment scenarios using the Service Based Management Architecture (SBMA) as defined in TS 28.533 [32], for telecommunication network management purposes, including management of converged networks and networks that include virtualized network functions.

This document specifies the semantics of information object class attributes and relations visible across the reference point in a protocol and technology neutral way. It does not define their syntax and encoding.

This document supports the Federated Network Information Model (FNIM) concept described in [8] in that the relevant Information Object Class (IOC)s defined in this specification are directly or indirectly inherited from those specified in the Umbrella Information Model (UIM) of [9].
