1. An optical transponder comprising an optical/electrical (O/E) receiver module for converting an ingressing optical signal from an optical signal source into an electrical signal;

  • a performance monitoring module for effecting performance monitoring on said electrical signal; and

    an electrical/optical (E/O) transmitter module for regenerating an egressing optical signal from said electrical signal for feeding to an optical signal destination, wherein said performance monitoring module is capable of effecting performance monitoring on the electrical signal equivalents of at least two different optical signals types each uniquely identifiable in terms of transmission protocol and bit rate, by invoking a suitable performance monitoring scheme for each different optical signal type.
