1. An optical transceiver, comprising:

  • a) a receiver configured to receive optical information, and a transmitter configured to transmit optical information;

    b) circuitry configured to sample data for a plurality of operational parameters of the receiver and transmitter, wherein the plurality of operational parameters comprise at least two members of the group consisting of a temperature, a voltage, a current, an optical power, an output power, a modulation amplitude, a frequency, an amplifier gain, a channel spacing, and a wavelength;

    c) logic configured to perform one or more statistical calculations on a plurality of values of the sampled data to generate statistical information, wherein the statistical information comprises a maximum value, a minimum value, an average value, a rate, and/or one or more standard deviations of at least one of the plurality of operational parameters; and

    d) one or more memories configured to store the sampled data and the statistical information.
