Abstract

See full text

A small form factor pluggable device (SFP) or other compact transceiver device is provided at a subscriber's site and is configured to perform Layer 3 testing (e.g., ICMP echo request and response operations) for testing connectivity across networks. A universal interface coupling a conventional transceiver to host equipment is also disclosed which has components that can provide additional functionality to the transceiver while maintaining compatibility between the transceiver and the host equipment.
