This Recommendation I International Standard defines a systems management function which may be used by an application process in a centralized or decentralized management environment to interact for the purpose of systems management as defined in CCITT Rec. X.700 I ISO/IEC 7498-4. This Recommendation I International Standard defines the usage metering function and consists of service and generic definitions. It is positioned in the application layer of ITU-T Rec. X.200 I ISO/IEC 7498-1 and is defined according to the model provided by ISO/IEC 9545. The role of systems management functions is described by CCITT Rec. X.701 I ISO/IEC 10040.

This Recommendation I International Standard:

- establishes user requirements for service definitions needed to support the usage metering function;

- establishes models that relate the service provided by this function to the user requirements;

- defines the service provided by the function;

- specifies the protocol that is necessary in order to provide this service;

- defines the relationships between the service and the operations and notifications for usage metering managed objects;

- defines the relationships with other Systems Management functions;

- specifies conformance requirements;

- defines generic managed object classes, packages, attributes, operations types and notification types, documented in accordance with guidelines for the definition of managed objects;
