Methods and Systems for Network Element Fault Information Processing

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for network element fault information processing. In an embodiment, a network element identifier and a network element fault information processing instruction are received. A query for network element fault information based at least in part on the network element identifier is sent. Network element fault information is received. The network element fault information is processed based at least in part on the received network element fault information. The processed network element fault information is output.

1 . A system for network element fault information processing, the system comprising: 
 a network element;    a first communications link coupled to the network element, the first communications link to carry communications to and from a customer; and    a computer, the computer coupled to the network element, the computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing a plurality of instructions to be executed by the processor, the plurality of instructions including instructions to 
 receive a network element identifier, the network element identifier c corresponding to the network element,  
 receive a network element fault information processing instruction;  
 receive network element fault information; and  
 process the network element fault information based at least in part on the received network element fault information processing instruction.
