Abstract
Presently disclosed are systems and methods for monitoring and managing communication paths in data centers. One embodiment takes the form of a method that includes associating an end-to-end communication path with one or more service-level parameters, where a plurality of PLCCs are interconnected along the end-to-end communication path. The method also includes receiving a low-signal-level indication from at least one PLCC on the communication path, and responsively (i) selecting at least one responsive action based at least in part on the one or more service-level parameters and (ii) taking the at least one selected responsive action with respect to the end-to-end communication path.
