Abstract
Multiple physical NEs may be presented to a network carrier as a single logical NE comprising multiple physical NEs. Alarms between the multiple physical NEs may be treated as internal connection alarms of the single logical NE instead of endpoint alarms of the multiple physical NEs. A number of alarms in the network may be reduced as well as alarm processing of the alarms at an Operational Support System (OSS), effectuating scaling of alarms as well as relaxing resource requirements (e.g., compute power, memory, etc.) of the OSS.
