Abstract
Systems and methods for triggering fault information insertion in an optical network are disclosed. In accordance with certain embodiments of the present disclosure, a method may include detecting, by a network element, occurrence of an event. The network element may also determine whether the event comprises a triggering fault condition in which fault information is to be communicated. The network element may additionally insert fault information into a data packet. The network element may further communicate the data packet to at least one neighboring network element.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- detecting, by a network element, occurrence of an event;
- determining, by the network element, whether the event comprises a triggering fault condition in which fault information is to be communicated;
- inserting, by the network element, fault information into a data packet;
- and
- communicating the data packet to at least one neighboring network element.
A network element comprising a controller configured to:
- detect, by a network element, occurrence of an event;
- determine, by the network element, whether the event comprises a triggering fault condition in which fault information is to be communicated;
- insert, by the network element, fault information into a data packet;
- and
- communicate the data packet to at least one neighboring network element.
Logic embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the logic configured to, when executed by a processor:
- detect, by a network element, occurrence of an event;
- determine, by the network element, whether the event comprises a triggering fault condition in which fault information is to be communicated;
- insert, by the network element, fault information into a data packet;
- and
- communicate the data packet to at least one neighboring network element.
