Abstract: Various example embodiments for supporting optical transport systems are presented. Various example embodiments for supporting optical transport systems may be configured to support optical transport systems that support multiple fibers based on use of spatial division multiplexing (SDM) techniques. Various example embodiments for supporting optical transport systems that support multiple fibers based on use of SDM techniques may be configured to support optical transport systems that support multiple fibers based on use of an anylane add/drop capability that is based on use of a Clos architecture (e.g., a spatially-switched distributed Clos architecture with a single stage of switching for network traffic that passes through the node, a spatially-switched distributed Clos architecture with two stages of switching for network traffic that passes through the node, a spatially-switched node-contained Clos architecture with three stages of switching for network traffic that passes through the node, or the like).
