Validating a connection to an optical circuit switch |
摘要 |
A system and method of validating a connection to an optical circuit switch include sending a packet of data through a first connection to the optical circuit switch to test whether the packet reaches a second connection to the optical circuit switch. The first connection may be selected for retesting with a third connection and a second packet of data may be sent to the third connection. Data indicative of the first connection being correctly wired may be generated based in part on a determination that the second packet reached the third connection. |

1. A method for validating a connection to an optical circuit switch comprising:
generating, by a processing circuit, a packet of data; providing the packet of data to a first connection to the optical circuit switch, the first connection comprising a wired connection to a first port of the optical circuit switch; determining, by the processing circuit, whether the packet of data was communicated through the optical circuit switch to a second connection to the optical circuit switch, the second connection comprising a wired connection to a second port of the optical circuit switch; selecting the first connection for retesting based in part on a determination that the packet of data reached the second connection; retesting the selected first connection by communicating a second packet of data through the first connection to a third connection to the optical circuit switch, the third connection comprising a wired connection to a third port of the optical circuit switch; generating data indicative of the first connection being correctly wired based in part on a determination that the second packet reached the third connection; generating data indicative of the first connection being incorrectly wired based in part on a determination that the second packet of data did not reach the third connection; and generating data indicative of the second connection being incorrectly wired based in part on a determination that the second packet of data did not reach the third connection. |
