scope:

This European telecommunication Standard (ETS) addresses the management of the automatic protection switching within network element at the high and low order path layers. It covers the Sub Network Connection Protection (SNCP) as described in ITU-T Recommendations G.803 [2] and G.841 [4]. This ETS provides an information model, for the SNCP of Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) network. This model describes the managed object classes and their properties for the management of the sub network connection protection function for SDH network elements.
