  • detecting by a network element that a plurality of defects have occurred within the network;

    determining by the network element that the number of defects is greater than a threshold;

    generating a single summary alarm by the network element based on the plurality of defects;

    sending the summary alarm from the network element instead of an individual defect alarm for each of the plurality of defects;

    receiving at the network element a first request from a network management system for the detected defects within the network in response to generation of the summary alarm; and

    reporting the detected defects by the network element in response to the first request from the network management system.
