Abstract
A method for detecting an anomaly in a passive optical network (PON) includes obtaining data for a customer associated with a plurality of levels in a topology. The PON includes an optical line terminal (OLT) optically connected to a plurality of optical network terminals (ONTs) via optical fibers. The plurality of levels include two or more of: a local area network level corresponding to a wireless network component communicating with a customer ONT, an ONT level, a fiber distribution hub (FDH) level corresponding to an FDH optically connected to the customer ONT, or an OLT level corresponding to the OLT optically connected to the FDH. For each level, the method includes analyzing a data subset to generate a level-specific anomaly metric. The method includes combining the level-specific anomaly metrics to detect an anomaly and providing an indication to a user interface or another computing device.
