This review is from: TMN: Telecommunications Management Network (Hardcover)

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.
