摘要： A system and method for managing communication links connecting components in a network element is provided. The network element has a first component, a second component and at least two communication links. The communication links are adapted to provide a first connection and a second connection between the first component and the second component. The system includes, for each communication link of the at least two communication links connected to the first component and adapted to provide the first connection and the second connection, a detection module adapted to monitor a given communication link for an error. The system also includes, for each communication link connected to the second component and adapted to provide the first connection and the second connection, another detection module adapted to monitor another given communication link for an error. The system further includes a collection module communicating with each the detection module to collect information about any errors detected thereby and to provide a status report of each communication link.
