| 发明名称 | Communicating alarms between devices of a network | ||
| 摘要 | A system and method for communicating alarms. Packets are communicated through multiple maintenance entities in one or more networks. A determination is made that there is a failure between or at one of the multiple maintenance entities in the one or more networks. An alarm is generated at a maintenance entity nearest the failure in response to determining there is a failure. The alarm indicates a location of the failure and an identification of a communications service provider associated with the failure. The alarm is communicated back through one or more of the multiple maintenance entities to a maintenance end point. The alarm is routed to at least a communications service provider determined to be associated with the failure. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method for communicating alarms, the method comprising: communicating packets through a plurality of maintenance entities m one or more networks; determining there is a failure between or at one of the plurality of maintenance entities in the one or more networks; generating an alarm at a maintenance entity nearest the failure in response to determining there is a failure, the alarm indicates a location of the failure and an identification of a communications service provider associated with the failure; and communicating the alarm back through one or more of the plurality of maintenance entities to a maintenance end point, wherein the alarm is routed to at least a communications service provider determined to be associated with the failure. | ||
