Also, the method may include starting a timer by a timing module. Furthermore, the method may include collecting drop counters to form counters TLV. In addition, the method may include collecting optics information periodically including optics temperature, voltage, and power. Moreover, the method may include forming a sysinfo TLV using a network processor based on the collected system and transceiver information. Also, the method may include generating an event in an event handler. Furthermore, the method may include transmitting a packet to be received by a receive link-service and parsed by a network communication interface, where the counters TLV are correlated with local counters on the receive link-service. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising starting, using a network processor, a link-service;
