Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a high-speed data communication technology, and in particular to a method for processing a data transmission anomaly in an optical module-based communication process, a signal processing device for implementing the method, and an optical module comprising the signal processing device. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, real-time monitoring of data transmission status associated with an egress direction and an ingress direction is realized inside an optical module, and in the event of a transmission anomaly, e.g., when the link involved in data transmission is in degraded status, relevant indication information is transmitted by inserting it into the data stream currently being transmitted.
