Abstract
An operation, administration, and maintenance data sink may receive an event data packet. The event data packet may be processed and transmitted based on instructions from a controller, wherein the controller may regulate the transmission of the processed event data packet based on network conditions.
Claims14
A method comprising:
- processing, by a network element, an event data packet into a first operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) data packet, the first OAM data packet being one of a plurality of OAM data packets;
- determining a normalized packet size of each data packet of the plurality of OAM data packets based on a status of the network element, the status of the network element comprising a status of traffic congestion of a network associated with the network element;
- receiving instructions from an OAM server to transmit each data packet of the plurality of OAM data packets at a frequency based on a priority weighting, the priority weighting based on a packet size;
- and
- transmitting, by the network element to the OAM server, the first OAM data packet based on the instructions.

A network device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- processing an event data packet into a first operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) data packet, the first OAM data packet being one of a plurality of OAM data packets;
- determining a normalized packet size of each data packet of the plurality of OAM data packets based on a status of a network element, the status of the network element comprising a status of traffic congestion of a network associated with the network element;
- receiving instructions from an OAM server to transmit each data packet of the plurality of OAM data packets at a frequency based on a priority weighting, the priority weighting based on packet size;
- and
- transmitting, to the OAM server, the first OAM data packet at a normalized packet based on the instruction.
