Abstract
A communication network physical monitoring system and method employs a media converter device configured to transport communication/Ethernet data traffic and sense network physical layer conditions and/or events. An event controller device in communication with the media converter device receives transmissions indicating network physical layer conditions and/or events from the media converter device. The event controller is configured to transmit messages indicating the network physical layer conditions and/or events via a Social Media/Networking Service to devices that subscribe to receive messages from the event controller device on the Social Media/Networking Service.
