name: EML
full_form: Element Management Layer
context: The EML manages each Network Element on an individual or group basis and supports an abstraction of the functions provided by the Network Element Layer (NEL). The EML has one or more element OSFs and/or MFs that are individually responsible, on a devolved basis from the Network Management Layer (NML), for some subset of Network Element Functions (NEF). As an objective, a vendor independent view should be provided to the NML. The EML has the following three (3) principle roles: 1) Control and coordination of a subset of Network Elements on an individual NEF basis. In this role, the element OSFs support interaction between the NML and the NEL by processing the management information being exchanged between network OSFs and individual NEFs. Element OSFs should provide full access to NE functionality. 2) The EML might also control and coordinate a subset of Network Elements on collective basis. In this role, element OSFs may also provide a single entity view of a group of NEFs. In
description: The Element Management Layer (EML) is responsible for managing individual or groups of Network Elements on behalf of the Network Management Layer (NML). It provides an abstraction of functions offered by the Network Element Layer (NEL), controls and coordinates subsets of Network Elements, and supports interaction between NML and NEL.
explanation: The EML is classified as a Network Function due to its role in managing and controlling Network Elements, providing an abstraction layer for NEL functions, and facilitating communication between NML and NEL. The context highlights the EML's responsibilities and interactions with other network layers.
