Precheck of links to be turned off (ODUs of same link) #30

Open openBackhaul opened 1 year ago

Before a link is turned off, it needs to be assured that the two ODUs that are planned to be turned off are actually belonging to the same link (polarization).

Question: How much can we trust into information like linkEndPointId in the AirInterface or the Link object in MWNI?

Either the application, which is writing the linkEndPointId into the AirInterface, or the application, which is creating the Link object in MWNI, should verify correctness by some measurement.
Such measurement could be, e.g. slightly lowering the transmit power to check for the receive level at the expected receiver to decrease, too. If such verification would be done in either or application the AIPS could trust on the information retrieved from there.
