When a service is provided in a service stream between end devices controlling the service stream by using first protocol, there is also a need to control the service stream in the network via which the service stream is or is to be transmitted. The service stream is controlled in the network by utilizing first protocol messages which are separated () from other traffic transmitted in the network.

Controlling service stream

The invention relates to a method for network element management in a telecommunications network. The network elements are coupled on a management bus (MB) used by the telecommunications network. In accordance with the method, management messages are sent from a management workstation via the management bus to the network elements (NE) to be managed. In order to facilitate the management of network elements having various management interfaces, a management server (S,) in the Internet or in an Intranet is used for the management, the server being connected via the management bus (MB) to the network elements to be managed, the management alternatives relating to the managed network element are sent through the Internet or Intranet to the user's management workstation in the form of SGML-based documents, and the management operations carried out by the user in the documents are converted in the management server into messages to be sent onto the management bus, by means of which messages the network elements are managed.
