ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for fault localization in an optical network using time trend correlation of end node performance parameters and intermediate node performance parameters, such as QoS and quasi-Q factors, respectively. The method and apparatus are bit-rate and protocol independent, enabling testing for each channel of a diverse dense wavelength division multiplexed traffic system using a single set of hardware.
