Abstract:
Method and systems for simultaneously performing link fault sectionalization (LFS) tests for multiple time division multiplexed (TDM) channels are disclosed. An LFS test state machine may simultaneously process test data for multiple TDM channels by receiving test data associated with the TDM channels, accessing stored LFS state information associated with the TDM channels from an LFS state storage element, sequentially processing the test data for the channels, generating new LFS state information for each channel, and storing the new LFS state information in the LFS state storage element.
