Abstract
Object-based operation and maintenance (OAM) systems and related methods and computer program products are disclosed. One exemplary system includes a computer comprising a memory. The computer is in communication with a network comprising a network-attached components operating in an OAM system. The system can also include an object-based representation of the network stored in the memory. The object-based representation comprises objects linked together in the memory to form a hierarchy. Each of the objects represent the network or the network-attached components. In addition, each of the objects stores attribute information about the network or the network-attached components with regard to the OAM system. Further, the system can include an application for interpreting and utilizing the object-based representation of the network for operating and maintaining the network and network-attached components in the OAM system.
