Abstract
Per-port performance optimization may be provided. First, performance data may be received corresponding to each of a plurality of ports. Then it may be determined that performance of at least one of the plurality of ports can be improved based on the received performance data corresponding to the least one of the plurality of ports. Next, in response to determining that the performance of the at least one of the plurality of ports can be improved, at least one of a plurality of components may be adjusted corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of ports to improve performance of the least one of the plurality of ports.

A method comprising:
- receiving performance data corresponding to each of a plurality of ports;
- determining that performance of at least one of the plurality of ports can be improved based on the received performance data corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of ports, wherein determining that the performance of the at least one of the plurality of ports can be improved based on the received performance data comprises:
- determining that the received performance data at an output of the at least one of the plurality of ports is below a first predetermined threshold and at a customer premise equipment is above a second predetermined threshold, and
- determining, in response to determining that the received performance data at the output of the at least one of the plurality of ports is below the first predetermined threshold and at the customer premise equipment is above the second predetermined threshold, that the performance of the at least one of the plurality of ports can be improved;
- adjusting, in response to determining that the performance of the at least one of the plurality of ports can be improved, at least one of a plurality of components corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of ports to improve performance of the at least one of the plurality of ports;
- wherein receiving performance data comprises receiving performance data comprising at least one of the following:
- a modulation error ratio (MER) and a bit error rate (BER);
- and
- wherein adjusting, in response to determining that the performance of the at least one of the plurality of ports can be improved, at least one of a plurality of components corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of ports to improve performance of the at least one of the plurality of ports comprises adjusting a tilt associated with the at least one of the plurality of ports.
