Abstract
A method is provided for generating fault information associated with a communication channel. In the method, a time-varying error value associated with the communication channel is received. If the error value exceeds a first threshold, a first time value associated with the error value exceeding the first threshold is stored. If the error value then falls and remains below the first threshold for a first minimum time period before the error value exceeds and remains above a second threshold that is higher than the first threshold for a second minimum time period, the first time value is deleted; otherwise, a second time value associated with the error value exceeding the second threshold is stored. The fault information comprises the first time value and the second time value.
