ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for use in monitoring and analyzing statistical parameters corresponding to errors occurring in the transmission of data signals in a telecommunications network is disclosed. Communication between two customer sites occurs through the use of a leased line or circuit, which defines fixed paths between the customer terminals and which comprises a plurality of network elements. Statistical parameters, corresponding to errors detected and processed at ports in the network elements, are sent to a central management system which executes a performance monitoring count routine to determine the total number of errored-seconds, or severely-errored-seconds, or other statistical parameters associated with each direction of transmission in the customer circuit.
