Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for monitoring optical transceiver devices. In one embodiment, a method comprises predicting degradation of an optical transceiver device based on values of an operating parameter of the optical transceiver device obtained over time, and generating a notification of the degradation of the optical transceiver device. In this way, an optical transceiver device that is susceptible to degradation may be pre-emptively identified and replaced, thereby preventing failures of a communication system including the optical transceiver device.
