Quantifying and visualizing system impairments in an optical network

原文（中国語）

Quantifying and visualizing system impairments in an optical network includes, subsequent to determining baseline noise impairment values for a plurality of segments in an end-to-end path for a photonic service, determining current noise impairment values for the plurality of segments, wherein the baseline noise impairment values and the current noise impairment values relate to Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) margin for the photonic service; and displaying a visualization of the end-to-end path for the photonic service, at a level of each segment of the plurality of segments, wherein the visualization includes a delta between the baseline noise impairment values and the current impairment noise values and associated impact on overall noise values for the photonic service. The quantifying and visualizing system can include receiving a selection of a segment in the visualization and displaying a health tile visualization illustrating one or more components in the segment.
