A method and apparatus of managing a communication link may include
monitoring at least one of a plurality of physical links and a plurality
of communication links associated with a plurality of data
communications, calculating a statistical quantity of a noise element of
a selected one or more of at least one of the plurality of physical links
and the plurality of communication links at a plurality of first time
intervals, measuring the noise element of the selected one or more of at
least one of the plurality of physical links and the plurality of
communication links at a second time interval, determining whether the
noise element measured at the second time interval has exceeded a first
noise threshold, and communicating an alert notification when the first
noise threshold is exceeded.
