From an operational perspective, the most important resource in the<br />

ASTN network is the end-to-end connectivity in the ASTN. Following<br />

M.3100, we call this resource AstnTrail.<br />

The AstnTrail represents a switched or s<strong>of</strong>t-permanent monitored OLC.<br />

In other words, it provides end-to-end data transport functionality between a<br />

pair <strong>of</strong> TnwNEs controlled by CpNEs <strong>and</strong> supervision <strong>of</strong> the quality <strong>and</strong> integrity<br />

<strong>of</strong> the signal (e.g., by mechanisms <strong>of</strong> end-to-end connectivity <strong>and</strong> continuity<br />

supervision <strong>of</strong> the CP such as LMP [13]). An AstnTrail is made up <strong>of</strong> several<br />

AstnConnections.<br />

An AstnConnection provides data transport functionality <strong>and</strong> NNI signal<br />

transport functionality between a pair <strong>of</strong> TnwNEs controlled by CpNEs.<br />

Switched or s<strong>of</strong>t-permanent OLCs (AstnTrails) are made up from several<br />

AstnConnections. Each AstnConnection object has a related transport network<br />

connection object in the respective transport network MIB.<br />

The NniTrail provides monitored data transport functionality between a<br />

pair <strong>of</strong> TnwNEs controlled by CpNEs. In contrast to the related transport network<br />

trail object, the supervision is done on a per link basis using ASTN mechanisms<br />

such as those provided (e.g., by LMP [13]) rather than the trail<br />

monitoring mechanisms <strong>of</strong> the transport layer. A NniTrail acts as a server for<br />

one or more AstnConnections.<br />
