What is the origin of TL1 protocol?
In the early 70’s, network operations began to increase and many companies started using Man-Machine Language (MML), a protocol readable by both humans and machines, to control equipment elements both locally and remotely. In 1984, Bellcore, an equipment manufacturer and research institute for the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs), specified Transaction Language 1 (TL1) as the standard protocol.
