Abstract
Systems and methods for tracking and reporting the existence or absence of faults in a Network Element (NE) or node of a network, network domain, or Maintenance Domain (MD) are provided. A method, according to one implementation, includes a step of tracking the existence or absence of a plurality of faults in a NE within a network domain. Each of the plurality of faults is categorized in one of a plurality of priority levels. In response to a detection of one or more new faults in the NE or a rectification of one or more old faults in the NE, the method further includes the step of updating a fault indication variable that individually signifies the existence or absence of a fault at each of the priority levels.
