A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LIGHT PATH MONITORING IN AN OPTICAL COMMUNICATION NETWORK |
摘要 |
A method to trace, detect, discover and monitor the nodes traversed by a lig ht path from its source to its destination in an Optical Communication Network (OCN) is provided. In accordance with the embodiment of the invention, the system examines various provisioned and discovered optical nodes either sequentially or in parallel to determine whether a unique signature (wavekey) associated with the light pat h is present. Connectivity and mis-fibering problems are detected by sequentially examining provisioned nodes in the light path to determine if the wavekey associated with the light path can be observed. Control Network topology information is utilized to contact all nodes in the network to trouble-shoot mis-fibering problems.
