Receiver performance measurement system and method thereof

A device, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor;
• and
• a receiver performance measurement logic, configured to:
• store a plurality of error patterns associated with one or more network devices wherein each error pattern comprises a plurality of symbol errors corresponding to one or more Forward Error Correction (FEC) codewords;
• retrieve one or more symbol errors from the plurality of error patterns;
• access one or more segments associated with at least one of the one or more network devices;
• determine an error threshold for at least one segment;
• determine a probability of occurrence of the one or more FEC codewords having a count of the one or more symbol errors not less than the error threshold based on the plurality of error patterns and the error threshold;
• and
• generate a performance metric based on the probability of the occurrence of the one or more FEC codewords having the count of the one or more symbol errors not less than the error threshold.
