1. An undersea optical communication transmission system performance evaluation device, comprising:
a plurality of line monitoring equipment (LME) devices operable to determine operational performance of an undersea optical communication transmission system, wherein each LME device of the plurality of LME devices is positioned at terminal stations that form the undersea optical communication system;
a data storage operable to store information related to the undersea optical communication transmission system; and
a processor coupled to the plurality of LME devices and operable to execute programming code that enables monitoring performance of the undersea optical communication system, wherein the processor is further operable to:
determine that an optical communication path in the undersea optical communication transmission system has been reconfigured, wherein the reconfigured optical communication path is formed by coupling a plurality of segments of the undersea optical communication transmission system together enabling optical communication signal transmission, and the reconfigured optical communication path has a first endpoint and a second endpoint;
obtain, from the data storage, system attributes of each respective segment of the plurality of segments from the first endpoint to the second endpoint of the reconfigured optical communication path;
evaluate the system attributes of each respective segment of the plurality of segments from the first end point to the second endpoint of the reconfigured optical communication path; and
generate a reportable parameter table based on the evaluated system attributes, wherein the reportable parameter table includes a listing of operational parameters of the reconfigured optical communication path.
