A novel optical layer performance monitoring method in transparent optical-label switching networks is presented. It is based on the signal quality correlation between the data payload and the label, which allows monitoring of the data payload signal quality by monitoring the label bit error rates. Experimental results indicate effective estimations of payload data bit error rates over approximately a 15 dB dynamic range of signal-to-noise ratio.
