1、 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS ATIS-0100012.2013 STANDARD OUTAGE CLASSIFICATION As a leading technology and solutions development organization, ATIS brings together the top global ICT companies to advance the industrys most-pressing business priorities. Through ATIS committees an

2、d forums, nearly 200 companies address cloud services, device solutions, emergency services, M2M communications, cyber security, ehealth, network evolution, quality of service, billing support, operations, and more. These priorities follow a fast-track development lifecycle from design and innovatio

3、n through solutions that include standards, specifications, requirements, business use cases, software toolkits, and interoperability testing. ATIS is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ATIS is the North American Organizational Partner for the 3rd Generation Partnership

4、Project (3GPP), a founding Partner of oneM2M, a member and major U.S. contributor to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Radio and Telecommunications sectors, and a member of the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission (CITEL). For more information, visit . AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD

5、 Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement h

6、as been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made towards their resolution. The use of America

7、n National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards

8、 Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Req

9、uests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action

10、be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute. Notice of Disclaimer that is, the value in one category does not preclude

11、or exclude the use of a value in another category. Outage databases constructed using this concept can be perceived as having one field for Category 1 (What), two fields for Category 2 (Why-Primary and Why-Secondary), and one field for Category 3 (Who). The concept of decomposing the outage cause in

12、to categories facilitates the statistical analysis of outage data. The category values presented in this standard address the highest level of outage cause description with the broadest applicability across the industry. It is likely that individual companies or organizations may wish to provide mor

13、e in-depth outage cause descriptions to focus on their own individual needs. The standard presented here provides a basis and structure for doing so. The decomposition concept allows additional fields to be added if needed where more precision is desired in the description. For example, Category 1 (

14、What) could have an added field describing specific types of hardware and software elements that were the source of the outage. Such a level of description is beyond the scope of this standard, but the system described here provides a structure for such expansion of detail if desired. 4.3 Examples o

15、f Application The examples provided in Table 1 provide guidance on the application of the classification system to various outage scenarios. In particular, note should be made of scenarios involving acts of nature such as lightning or storms. It is often simplest to ascribe service outages arising f

16、rom such events exclusively to Acts of Nature. However, in many cases, a thorough outage cause analysis will often find that true responsibility for these outages lies elsewhere (e.g., with the service provider if proper precautions were not made, or with the vendor if the event was within the desig

17、n tolerance of the failed equipment); several scenarios in Table 1 address the differences in classification for such outages.
