ILMI: Interim Local Management Interface

Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) is an interim specification used to provide network management functions between end users and networks and between private and public networks in an ATM network. ILMI allows bi-direction exchange of management information between UNI Management Entities (UMEs) within UNI peers. Management information related to the Physical Layer, ATM Layer, Virtual Path Connections, Virtual Channel Connections, Address Registration, as well as ATM Layer Statistics, is represented in a standard MIB structure called the ATM UNI ILMI MIB.
