Telecom networks are modlled by division into northbound and southbound abstraction levels or descriptors, where southbound describes traffic from the NMS and hardware controlled by the network. Northbound traffice comes from lower layers of the network such as routers and switches and from the applications and users. Services supporting and the telecom network, both internal and third party, are described has being eastbound or westbound, depending on the objectives of the modelled architecture. In the above figure, SIEM is an example service that is adjacent to the NMS, and is often used in modern deployments.
In telecom deployments of NMS it is common to provide an in-house Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), that declares it's own certificate authority (CA) or authorities deployed to the managed machines within the network. The number of these managed machines, number of CA's and how the CA's are used is dependent on design of the network Alternatively, even at telecom scale, and NMS can even provide its own certifactes and form an independent and segregated trust ring.
