ISO/IEC 10164-22:2000

This Recommendation | International Standard defines a systems management function which may be used by an application process in a centralized or decentralized environment to interact for the purposes of systems-management, as defined by CCITT Rec. X.700 | ISO/IEC 7498-4. This Recommendation | International Standard defines the response time monitoring function that consists of services, functional units, generic definitions and protocols. It is positioned in the application layer of ITU-T Rec. X.200 | ISO/IEC 7498 and is defined according to the model provided by ISO/IEC 9545. The role of systems management functions are described by ITU-T Rec. X.701 | ISO/IEC 10040. This Recommendation | International Standard: ? establishes user requirements for the response time monitoring function; ? establishes a model that relates the services and generic definitions provided by this function to user requirements; ? defines the services provided by the function; ? defines generic notification type; and ? specifies the protocol that is necessary in order to provide the services. This Recommendation | International Standard does not: ? define the nature of any implementation intended to provide the response time monitoring function; ? specify the manner in which management is accomplished by the use of the response time monitoring; ? define the nature of any interactions which result in the use of the response time monitoring; ? specify the services necessary for the establishment, normal and abnormal release of a management association; ? preclude the definition of further notification types. The functions and the management information defined in this Recommendation | International Standard include: ? Summarization of the response time on any request of information and its management; ? Definition of the relationship on response monitoring; ? Setting and modification of the monitoring and the summarization conditions; ? Scheduling of the monitoring and the summarization; and ? Notification when response information or its statistical result is over a threshold. The functions and the management information defined in this Recommendation | International Standard do not include: ? Management information definitions for summarization of response time statistical; ? How to retrieve response times locally (e.g., the test function to confirm response times); and ? Local mechanisms to summarize information related to the response request and response.
