• the managed object class definition of Transport Layer Managed Objects following guidelines put forth by the Structure of Management Information (ITU-T Recommendations X.720-X.724 and ISO/IEC 10165);
• the relationship of the Managed Objects and attributes to both the operation of the layer and to other objects and attributes of the layer; and
• the action type operations on the attributes of Transport Layer Managed Objects that are available to OSI Systems Management.

Annexes D, E, F and G, which are integral parts of this Recommendation | International Standard, provide ICS proformas associated with Transport Layer management information.
