Abstract:
A system and method for discovering configuration errors in an optical network is disclosed. The neighbors of each node are discovered. An information model of the optical network is formed, which may be used to determine configuration errors. In one embodiment, each node exchanges node identification messages with neighboring nodes to discover its neighbors, publishes the node neighbor information to the optical network, and forms its own information model from the node neighbor information published by the nodes.
