Data exchanges between various modules and tools raise interfacing difficulties in a multilayer environment. This aspect may become particularly critical in a distributed context. This paper proposes a multilayer descriptive framework for communication networks aimed at facilitating data exchange between different tools and modules. This description uses the extensible mark-up language (XML) which allows an increased flexibility and an improved visibility of relevant data.
