Monitoring the Control Plane Performance

The control plane performance monitoring involves NE performance monitoring, WDM ASON trail performance monitoring and control channel performance monitoring. The control plane performance monitor status defaults to be disabled. Users can enable the monitoring function if required so that they can discover and handle problems at the earliest time.

Prerequisites

An ASON NE must be created and the NE data must be uploaded.
