First transmission device includes a first counter that generates counter value incremented in a specified cycle. Second transmission device includes a second counter that generates counter value incremented in the specified cycle. Polarization variation monitoring device acquires a first counter value generated by the first counter and a second counter value extracted by the first transmission device from a received frame transmitted from the second transmission device when the first transmission device detects polarization variation, and a third counter value generated by the second counter and a fourth counter value extracted by the second transmission device from a frame transmitted from the first transmission device when the second detector detects the polarization variation. The polarization variation monitoring device determines an occurrence position of the polarization variation based on the first counter value, the second counter value, the third counter value and the fourth counter value.

A communication quality estimating device estimates an error rate of a signal with FEC capable of correcting K errors. The device obtains a frequency measurement value that indicates a frequency at which a codeword including m errors is received. The device determines a transition probability and a continuation probability included in each of a plurality of formulae, such that a frequency calculation value that is calculated using the plurality of formulae and indicates a frequency at which a codeword including m errors is received is brought close to the frequency measurement value. The device calculates a frequency at which a codeword including more than K errors is received, by using the plurality of formulae each with the determined transition probability and the determined continuation probability. The device estimates after-FEC error rate based on a result of the calculation.

Device and method for estimating communication quality

An optical transmission device includes: a first receiver circuit, a second receiver circuit, a switch circuit, a terminator circuit, a packet buffer, a clock generator, and a signal generator. The first receiver circuit converts an optical signal received via a first route into a first electric signal. The second receiver circuit converts an optical signal received via a second route into a second electric signal. The switch circuit selects the first electric signal or the second electric signal. The terminator circuit extracts a packet from an electric signal selected by the switch circuit. The packet buffer stores the packet extracted by the terminator circuit. The clock generator generates a clock signal. The signal generator generates a continuous signal that includes the packet stored in the packet buffer by using the clock signal.
