Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for connection validation between a pair of mated transceivers implemented in a network element include, responsive to a request for connection validation at a first transceiver of the pair of mated transceivers, performing a first optical loopback test through the first transceiver with a unique trace identifier; responsive to a successful first optical loopback test, providing the unique trace identifier to a second transceiver of the mated transceivers with a request for a second optical loopback test; performing the second optical loopback test through the second transceiver with the unique trace identifier; and, responsive to a successful second optical loopback test, providing the unique trace identifier back to the first transceiver from the second transceiver.
