Abstract
Embodiments providing improved systems and methods deploying, monitoring, and troubleshooting optical physical layer networks are needed. A baseline may be created and performance data is extracted. The performance data is compared against user-defined rules to determine an appropriate action. In one embodiment, networks are first constructed in a specialized network factory, where they are racked, provisioned, audited, and tested by relevant experts in each technology. In another embodiment, a method isolates a problem in an optical transport network. When a problem is identified, the layers are repeatedly evaluated to identify the device operating at the lowest layer where an error occurs. That device is identified as being likely faulty.
