The purpose of ETSI TS 132 302 is to define an interface through which an IRPManager can subscribe to an IRPAgent
for receiving notifications. The present document is the "Information Service" of Notification IRP. It defines, for the
purpose of subscribing to an IRPAgent for receiving notifications, the information observable and controlled by
management system's client and it also specifies the semantics of the interactions used to carry this information. It also
defines the information common to all notifications which is called the notificationHeader.
An IRPAgent supporting this IRP IS may emit one or multiple categories of notifications, such as alarms (as specified
in Alarm IRP: Information Service [1]) and others. This IRP IS defines a mechanism that IRPManager can use to
determine the categories of notifications supported by an IRPAgent. It also defines a mechanism (subscribe and
unsubscribe operations) that IRPManager can use to specify the categories of notifications IRPAgent should emit to
IRPManager during subscription. It also defines a mechanism (getSubscriptionIds operation) that IRPManager can use
to check which categories of notifications it has subscribed to. IRPManager can set and change filter criteria applicable
during the life-cycle of a subscription. IRPManager can also exercise flow-control on IRPAgent's emission of
notifications (suspendSubscription and resumeSubscription operations).
Using different managerReference, an IRPManager can subscribe several times. It will result in multiple subscriptions.
As far as IRPAgent is concerned, notifications are sent to multiple "places".
Using the same managerReference, an IRPManager can subscribe several times specifying different categories of
notifications.
This IRP IS does not specify information that is carried in some but not all notifications. That kind of information is
specified in other IRP ISs involved. For example, perceivedSeverity is a piece of information specific for
notifications carrying alarm information. This information is not defined in the present document but in Alarm IRP:
Information Service [1].
How IRPManager discovers the IRPAgent's address or reference (so that IRPManager can invoke an operation) is
outside the scope of the present document.
This IRP IS is aligned with ITU-T M.3702 [13] in terms of the definitions of operations for Notification management.
