Claims11
A method for operating an optical network element connected to a switch, comprising:
- applying an initial set of parameters to operate the optical network element;
- receiving an optical signal at the optical network element via the switch;
- obtaining a value of a quality parameter at the optical network element, wherein the value of the quality parameter is indicative of at least one property of an optical signal or an optical path to the optical network element;
- based on the obtained value of the quality parameter and without information from the switch, deciding to apply either the initial set of parameters or a further set of parameters to operate the optical network element.
