  • Consistency checking over internal information in an optical transceiver
    Patent number: 7657186
    Abstract: A method that enables an optical transceiver to perform consistency checking, such as Cyclic Redundancy Checking (CRC), over internal information stored in the transceiver's memory while the transceiver is in operation. The optical transceiver includes a system memory and a consistency checker component. The consistency checker component determines that consistency checking is to be performed and identifies which portion of the system memory is to be checked. The consistency checker reads the portion of system memory and determines whether or not the portion of system memory is consistent with an expected consistency check value.
