Channel Monitoring (OCM)

Channel Monitoring, or OCM for short, is a management technology for optical fiber communication networks. It can monitor the performance and status of fiber channels in real time, and detect and report faults in a timely manner.

OCM works by using Fiber Channel performance parameters such as optical power, bit error rate, and jitter to evaluate the status of the Fiber Channel. When the performance parameters of Fiber Channel exceed the normal range, OCM will issue an alarm to notify network managers.
