How a telecom operator handles a network alarm: correlation, impact check, ticketing, field dispatch and restoration.
Drawing diagram…
Network fault management flowchart: alarms arrive from network elements, the correlation engine groups related alarms to find the root cause, the impact is assessed (sites down, customers affected), a trouble ticket is created with priority. The NOC tries remote fixes (reset, reroute); if that fails a field engineer is dispatched. After restoration the alarm clears, service is verified, the ticket is closed and a root-cause report is filed for major incidents.
