2.  Usage of Terms

   The terms defined in this document are intended for consistent use
   within the IETF in the scope of network fault and problem management.
   Where similar concepts are described in other bodies, an attempt has
   been made to harmonize with those other descriptions, but care is
   needed where terms are not used consistently between bodies or where
   terms are applied outside the network layer.  If other bodies find
   the terminology defined in this document useful, they are free to use
   it.

   The purpose of this document is to define the following terms for use
   in other documents.  Other terms are defined to enable those
   definitions and may also be used by other documents, although that is
   not the principal purpose of their definitions here.

   *  Event
   *  State
   *  Fault
   *  Problem
   *  Symptom
   *  Cause
   *  Alert
   *  Alarm

   When other documents make use of the terms as defined in this
   document, it is suggested here that such uses should use
   capitalization of the terms as in this document to help distinguish
   them from colloquial uses and should include an early section listing
   the terms inherited from this document with a citation.
