Embodiments of the present invention illustrate a network configuration having a subscriber node, a multiservice router ('MSR'), and an edge router, wherein the MSR is able to provide end-to-end fault notifications across a multiservice environment. The MSR, for example, provides a process capable of translating a fault notification between two or more protocols. Upon receipt of a first fault notification formatted in a first protocol over a first circuit from a subscriber node, MSR translates the first fault notification to a second fault notification which is formatted in the second protocol. The first protocol and second protocol are different protocols. The second fault notification is subsequently sent from the MSR to an edge router via a second circuit.
