Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for handling performance monitoring (PM) data in a database in a manner that supports different PM data sets from different network element (NE) device types in an integrated manner. The present invention defines a single database structure that can be utilized to store, handle, retrieve, etc. PM counters from multiple NEs including NEs of different types, e.g. SONET/SDH NE, DWDM NE, optical switch, Ethernet switch, etc. The single database enables an efficient mechanism to handle PM data in a uniform way across a network with different device types.
