  • Prediction of DWDM optical subnetwork degradation
    Publication number: 20090226174
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed that parses WDM subnetworks and collects TL1 Performance Monitoring (PM) parameter data from subnetwork network elements (NEs) and applies a set of comparisons to discover under-performing equipment according to predetermined operating thresholds. The comparisons examine NE pump laser baseline values, deviations, efficiency, tilt error, span loss and calculated expected optical power.
