PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce or eliminate disadvantages and problems associated with previous techniques for determining an active/standby state for modules of a network element. SOLUTION: Determining an active/standby state of one or more modules of a network element includes provisioning a path through the modules, where the path is used for the purpose of providing a service. A signal is introduced into the path, and the path is monitored. The service is established to be ready in accordance with the monitoring. The modules are determined to be in an active state in response to establishing that the service is ready. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
