An NMS is a product controlling at least partially connected devices with network access. Despite its central positioning, an NMS can be an aggregate of several components, including but not limited to: end-to-end management systems, dedicated configuration management systems, or controllers for software-defined networking as described in chapter 1.2.
An aggregated NMS can implement additional components for functions that are outside the scope of the present standards. One example of this type of aggregate product design would an implementation where the operating system acts as abstraction layer for the system(s) that host the NMS, or special networking interfaces.
