Describes the functional architecture of transport networks in a technology independent way. The generic functional architecture may be used as the basis for a harmonized set of functional architecture Recommendations for ATM, SDH, PDH transport networks, and a corresponding set of Recommendations for management, performance analysis and equipment specification.
