Abstract

See full text

A method, apparatus, and system for network monitoring, and more specifically for correlating downstream devices in an optical network with downstream ports of an optical splitter through which they are communicating with a central office. The downstream devices operational on the network are indentified and listed in a correlation table. Selected subsets of these devices are then monitored, preferably by an ISM under the direction of a management node, in a series of monitoring cycles until a satisfactory correlation may be achieved. The correlation cycle may be performed at startup, as needed, or on a periodic basis.
