Method for setting up a generic protocol relationship between network elements in a telecom network
First Claim
1. Method for setting up a generic protocol relationship between network elements, namely a Network Manager and a Network Element agent, in a telecom network, wherein an interface is created between Common Element Manager and Network Manager layers, to be protocol and model independent, as a generic layer for syntactical adaptation between Network Manager and Network Element, without taking into account the semantic of the exchanged messages;
- said interface being composed by a number of generic methods hiding different protocol operations.

Abstract
The present invention provides for a method for having the same interface family used to connect all possible kinds of network elements in a telecom network, by creating a CSG (CORBA Strategy Gateway) interface between Common Element Manager and Network Manager layers, to be protocol independent because, irrespective of the protocol used, the services provided are always the same. This generic layer will be used as a syntactical adaptation between NM and NE without taking into account the semantic of the exchanged messages.
