Abstract
A method and system for synchronizing data between a management system (MS) and network elements (NE) in an optical network utilizes a table counter and row counters for each row in a NE table, and a table counter and row counter for each row in a MS table. The NE table counter increments when a change in the NE table occurs. Each NE row counter increments when its row is changed. The MS table counter increments when a change in the MS table occurs. Each MS row counter is incremented when its row is changed. The MS polls the NE table counter and compares it with its MS table counter. If they are different, then the MS compares each NE row counter with the corresponding MS row counter. For any of the row counters that do not match, the rows between the MS table and the NE table are synchronized.
