Customer Reviews

Great reference book
Provides a great reference for designing and implementing a TMN. This book assumes that the reader has a knowledge of networking and working with carriers, so do not get this book if you are just learning the ropes when it comes to TMN and OSS.

TMN understanting
A very good guideline to anyone who wants to understant the scope and target of a TMN and how to take the most out of it.
