- Detecting Configuration Errors in Operational SONET/SDH Networks
- Large operational SONET/SDH networks have a significant amount of incorrectly configured equipment that affects network reliability and performance. These configuration errors cause latent errors and are hard to detect because they are dormant until another error triggers them. The traditional solution to detect configuration errors is to collect up-to-date inventory...
