附录附录A 外文翻译-原文部分Towards Management of Next Generation NetworksMi-Jung Choi and James Won-Ki HongDept.of Computer Science and Engineering, POSTECH, Korea SummaryNext Generation Network(NGN) is envisioned to be an inter-working environment of heterogeneous networks of wired and wireless access networks, PSTN, satellites, broadcasting, etc., all interconnected through the service provider’s IP backbone and the Internet. NGN uses multiple broadband, QoS-enabled transport technologies and service-related functions independent from underlying transport-related technologies. The operations and management of such interconnected networks are expected to be much more difficult and important than the traditional network environment. In this paper, we present an overview of the current status towards the management of NGN and discuss challenges in operating and managing NGN. We also present the operations and management requirements of NGN in accordance with the challenges. We then present standardization activities of NGN management and some of the notable research and development efforts related to NGN management. Key words: NGN, BcN, NGN Management1.IntroductionNGN is envisioned to be an answer to network operators and service providers to replace existing telephone networks as well as to introduce a new converged service platform between fixed and mobile telecommunication businesses[1].It is generally agreed that the main difference between traditional telecommunication networks and NGN is the shift from separate and vertically integrated application-specific networks to a single network capable of carrying any services. NGN is essentially about delivering new services that are available to any place,at any time,on any device,through any customer-chosen access mechanism. NGN is expected to co-exist and inter-work among wired networks(e.g., xDSL, Metro Ethernet, FTTH, leased lines, ISDN),wireless networks(e.g.,2G,3G,WLAN,WiMAX/WiBro) as well as satellites and broadcasting net
