MTNM IMPLEMENTATION STATEMENT TEMPLATES AND GUIDELINES  
2.33.3 Proprietary LayerRates 
The EML vendor should publish a list of proprietary layerRates that are used along with their definition. When a 
layerRate has been subsumed into the standard this list should be augmented with the equivalence and 
obsolescence statement. 
The proprietary layerRate should be used where: 
•  A transport technology within a product is as yet to be incorporated in the MTNM model 
o  This layerRate should be marked as “being standardized” in its definition in the conformance 
statement 
o  When the transport technology is incorporated the vendor should identify the equivalence and 
obsolescence in their conformance statement 
•  A proprietary transport technology has been used which is necessary to expose over the interface for 
monitoring and/or configuration purposes 
o  This layerRate should be marked as “proprietary” in its definition in the conformance statement 
Where a proprietary layerRate is used it may be necessary to name a TP (CTP or FTP) from that layerRate. In 
this case a name-string similar in structure to that used for a standardize layerRate (in the layerRate list) should 
be allocated by the vendor and recorded in the conformance statement. To conform to the specification this 
name-string will start with “PROP” (e.g. “PROP_sts_291c”).

Layer Rate Number 
(integer greater than 
or equal to 10,000) 
•  Where an NE only provides partial information on the layerRate, e.g., the NE only indicates that the 
layerRate is SONET or ATM 
o  This layerRate should be marked as “partial” in its definition and should (where possible) be 
related to layerRates that it covers

In v3.0, a layerRate equivalent to 
PROP_STS12c_and_VC4_4c has been 
defined, i.e., LR_STS12c_and_VC4_4c. So, 
PROP_STS12c_and_VC4_4c will no longer be 
used.
