    Abstract: An indication of a combination of a Shared Risk Link Group identifier and a node identifier for each of a plurality of links through at least one network and between a source network device and a destination network device is received at a network device. A primary path through the at least one network between the source network device and the destination network device is determined at the network device. The primary path comprises a first subset of the plurality of links through the at least one network. A back-up path through the at least one network between the source network device and the destination network device is determined at the network device. The back-up path comprises a second subset of the plurality of links through the at least one network.

    Abstract: Techniques for programming an omnidirectional programmable client interface module (OPCIM) to receive a control signal and for configuring a set of outputs of a first output and a second output. Programming the OPCIM for routing the control signal from one input of the OPCIM to the first output and the second output of the OPCIM to output a first output signal and a second output signal to a first Line Card and a second Line Card coupled to each output, respectively. In response to a failure of at least either one of the Line Cards, automatically enabling reprogramming the OPCIM for routing the control signal to either Line Card that is still operational to prevent a service interruption in sending the control signal from one input to an output of either the first output or the second output to the Line Cards coupled to outputs of the OPCIM.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method may access a plurality of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices within a network. The method may determine a shared risk model associated with the plurality of IIoT devices within the network. The method may determine, using the shared risk model, a shared risk value for each of the plurality of IIoT devices within the network. The method may determine, using the shared risk model, a plurality of associated clusters of IIoT devices within the network based on the shared risk value for each of the plurality of IIoT devices within the network. The method may determine an associated risk minimization for each of the plurality of IIoT devices within the network based on the plurality of associated clusters of IIoT devices within the network and the shared risk value for each of the plurality of IIoT devices within the network.

    Abstract: Backup communication paths can be determined for use by different circuits of a network in the event of a failure of active communication paths. The disclosed backup path determination techniques can reduce contention in which multiple circuits share a backup path. Contention metrics are determined for communication paths in the network. The contention metrics are used to determine a communication path for contention reduction. A circuit that uses the communication path as a backup path is selected, and the backup path of the selected circuit is modified to avoid the communication path. Contention metrics can then be recalculated, and contention reduction techniques can be repeated until a desired convergence point is reached.

    Abstract: Techniques for virtual private network (VPN) services over optical networks. Client data is received from a source device connected to a first node in an optical communication network. The client data is for transmission over the optical communication network to a destination device connected to a second node in the optical communication network. The client data is transmitted from the source device to the destination device using a layer 2 (L2) virtual network connection between the source device and the destination device. This includes transmitting the client data from the first node to the second node over an optical transport network (OTN) path through the optical communication network using a frame. The second node is configured to receive the frame and transmit the client data to the destination device based on an identifier in the frame.
