Integrated performance monitoring (PM); optical layer operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P); alarming; amplification, and the like is described in optical transceivers, such as multi-source agreement (MSA)-defined modules. An optical transceiver defined by an MSA agreement can include advanced integrated functions for carrier-grade operation which preserves the existing MSA specifications allowing the optical transceiver to operate with any compliant MSA host device with advanced features and functionality. The optical transceiver can include CFP and variants thereof (e.g., CFP2, CDFP, CXP), OIF-MSA-100GLH-EM-01.0, CCRx (Compact Coherent Receiver), Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) and variants thereof (e.g., QSFP+, QSFP2), 10×10 MSA, XFP, XPAK, XENPAK, X2, XFP-E, SFP, SFP+, 300-pin, and the like. |

1. An optical transceiver configured to operate in a host device according to a multi-source agreement, comprising:
circuitry configured to provide framing and forward error correction integrated within the optical transceiver and to communicate with the host device; transmitter optical components communicatively coupled to the circuitry and configured to transmit a composite 40G or 100G optical signal; receiver optical components communicatively coupled to the circuitry and configured to receive the composite 40G or 100G optical signal; and a housing compliant to the multi-source agreement, the housing containing the circuitry, the transmitter optical components, and the receiver optical components; wherein the framing and forward error correction provided by the circuitry is operated in one of a transparent mode and an enhanced mode, wherein the transparent mode includes the optical transceiver providing advanced functionality in excess of the multi-source agreement while preserving backward compatibility for operation in the host device. |
