Charter:
In concert with the Carrier, Architecture & Signaling and other OIF working groups, the Operations, Administration, Maintenance, & Provisioning (OAM&P) working group develops architectures, requirements, guidelines, and implementation agreements critical to widespread deployment of interoperable optical networks by carriers. The scope includes but is not limited to a) planning, engineering and provisioning of network resources; b) operations, maintenance or administration use cases and processes; and c) management functionality and interfaces for operations support systems and interoperable network equipment. Within its scope are Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance and Security Management (FCAPS) and Security. The OAM&P working group will also account for work by related standards development organizations (SDOs), identify gaps and formulate OIF input to other SDOs as may be appropriate.
