I suppose that answers the question whether FCAPS holds currency
among network managers/engineers.
It is an ITU-T developed network management model composed of
Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, Security (FCAPS).
Some people think it is a mandatory specification for how to
manage a network; other people think it is an antiquated view
of telecom network management; and yet other people think it is
as relevant as the ISO 7-layer network model.
