DVM-Exchange is an interface standard for traffic management systems, especially focussing on so-called Network Management Systems, that manage traffic in networks instead of in single nodes. The standard is currently under development by a growing group of companies in the traffic management industry, using an open process. This paper gives an overview of the standard, the rationale behind it and the key challenges that are still to be solved. A key feature of the standard is that the interface is expressed in effects on traffic, i.e. in traffic management terms. This traffic-level interface is then translated into an IT-technical interface within the framework of Web Services, which contributes to its future extensibility.
