5 Conventions
In this Recommendation:

The keywords "is required to" indicate a requirement which must be strictly followed and from
which no deviation is permitted if conformance to this document is to be claimed.
The keywords "is recommended" indicate a requirement which is recommended but which is not
absolutely required. Thus this requirement needs not be present to claim conformance.
The keywords "can optionally" and "may" indicate an optional requirement which is permissible,
without implying any sense of being recommended. These terms are not intended to imply that the
vendor's implementation must provide the option and the feature can be optionally enabled by the
network operator/service provider. Rather, it means the vendor may optionally provide the feature
and still claim conformance with the specification.

6 Introduction

6.1 Network overview

Machine-oriented communications (MOC) are a form of data communications between two or more
entities in which at least one entity does not necessarily require human interaction or intervention in
the process of communication.

MOC include communications with remote MOC devices for the support of procedures covering
aspects such as registration, authentication, authorization, monitoring, maintenance, provisioning
and troubleshooting. MOC applications intend to automate decision and communication processes.

Figure 6-1 shows the network overview for the support of MOC applications in the NGN
environment.
