Abstract

See full text

Performance monitoring (PM); optical layer operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P); and alarming are provided in optical transceivers, such as multi-source agreement (MSA)-defined modules. The present disclosure provides an optical transceiver defined by an MSA agreement with integrated PM and alarming for carrier-grade operation. The integration preserves the existing MSA specifications allowing the optical transceiver to operate with any compliant MSA host device. Further, the host device can be configured through software to retrieve the PM and alarming from the optical transceiver. The optical transceiver can include XFP, XPAK, XENPAK, X2, XFP-E, SFP, SFP+, 300-pin, and the like. The optical transceiver is configured to frame incoming signals to provide overhead and FEC. The transceiver provides access to all alarms in ITU-T G.709, all Tandem Connection Monitoring (TCM) bytes in G.709, far end monitoring as specified in G.709, loopbacks, historical and real-time PM values, and the like.
