ACTIVE MONITORING AND ALARM MANAGEMENT FOR

FAULT LOCALIZATION IN TRANSPARENT ALL-OPTICAL

NETWORKS
ABSTRACT
Achieving accurate and efficient fault localization in large transparent all-optical
networks (TONs) is an important and challenging problem due to unique fault- propagation, time
constraints, and scalability requirements. This paper introduces a novel technique for optimizing
the speed of fault-localization through the selection of an active set of monitors for centralized
and hierarchically-distributed management. The proposed technique is capable of providing
various levels of fault-localization-granularity, from individual separate optical components to
the entire monitoring domains. It will formulate activation problem for optimal monitor using
Integer Linear Program (ILP). General simulation results provide supporting analysis and
comparisons of achievable alarm-vector reduction, localization coverage, and time complexity,
for flat and hierarchically distributed monitoring approaches. It will improve the effectiveness of
the application using proposed technique in efficient and scalable monitoring of transparent
optical networks.

EXISTING SYSTEM:

This system can consider the problem of identifying faults assuming that a fault
propagates downstream on all light paths from the point of fault origin in Network. A single link
failure detection scheme performs failure detection by assigning monitors to each optical
multiplexing and transmission section. The central manager periodically tests all source and
destination powers, if some node’s power is out of estimated bounds; the possible source of the
fault is recognized.

DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM:

• It’s very difficult to identify the problem by using single link failure detection
scheme.

• It will provide better result on finding the problem in a networks using single link
failure detection scheme.
PROPOSED SYSTEM:

This system introduces a novel approach for efficient TON monitoring that utilizes the
available traffic light paths and reduces the complexity of fault localization through the fault-
vector optimization for centralized and hierarchically-distributed fault-management. Resulting
rapid fault localization enables the use of fast and efficient link-based restoration techniques. It
proves that the proposed hierarchically-distributed monitoring has identical fault-detection
capabilities as centralized fault monitoring. Formulates the monitor optimization problem,
presents complexity analysis, and proves the NP-completeness. It will introduce an effective
heuristic algorithm for centralized and distributed monitoring and presents its complexity.

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM:

• It will reduces the complexity of fault localization through the fault-vector

optimization

• This system can find the network failure problem by using fault localization
approaches.

• It will reduce the time and cost of the fault detection.
