Abstract
A communication method leveraging service margin aware thresholds of optical alerts within an optical communication network line system is provided. The method includes determining an optical margin for a service provided between a source transponder and a destination transponder through an Optical Line System (OLS). The communication method includes monitoring PMs and fixed predetermined thresholds to raise a threshold crossing alert (TCA) indicating a monitored PM has crossed a fixed predetermined threshold. The method also determines a Service Margin Aware OLS TCA Threshold (SMAOTT) that is unique to a service or location within the OLS, monitors PMs and the determined SMOATT at a network element within the OLS, and raises a specific TCA associated with a SMAOTT when a monitored PM satisfies the SMAOTT.
