Abstract
In a telecommunications network, information about events that occur at nodes (27) is sent to event-based management applications (31) in operations and maintenance servers (21). Event reports (23) comprising such event information are replaced or accompanied in data packets by event summaries (33). The summaries (33) can be used to route the data packets to the correct event-based management application (31) with less processing time and resources than if the event reports (23) are used for routeing, because information about the events can be obtained from the summaries (33) more easily than from the event reports (23). Routeing using the summaries (33) may be done in a fast path. Some event-based management applications can use the summaries (33) instead of the event reports (23), which can also save processing time and resources, and such event-based management applications may be performed in a fast path.
