name: EFD
full_form: Event forwarding discriminator
context: clearUserIdParameter, clearSystemIdParameter, commentsParameter, alarmRaisedTimeParameter or alarmClearedTimeParameter. - According to ITU-T Recommendation X.734 [6], the Agent forwards these alarm notifications towards all EFDs. NOTE: These alarm notifications can reach the current Manager only via the temporary EFD created for the current alignment. They are filtered out: a) By all the EFD instances used for "real-time" alarm reporting, due to the presence of the sub-string "ALIGNMENT" in the field additionalText (see 3GPP TS 32.304 [10]). b) By all temporary EFD instances possibly created for parallel alignments, due to the presence of the unambiguous sub-string "<alignmentId>" in the additionalText field. - At the end of the alarm alignment process the Agent shall send the dedicated notification notifyAlarmAlignmentEnd in order to indicate the end of the current alignment process (unambiguously identified by the alignmentId). In case the alarm list is empty or no alarm matches the
description: Event forwarding discriminator (EFD) refers to a mechanism or identifier used in the context of alarm notifications and event forwarding within telecommunications networks, specifically mentioned in 3GPP TS 32.111.
explanation: The provided context from 3GPP TS 32.111 describes EFD as part of the process for handling alarm notifications and alignments over the Itf-N interface. Given its specific role and mention within a technical standard, it does not fit neatly into categories like Network Function or Protocol but is relevant to telecommunications operations.
