Abstract:
A method including determining, for each reachable source-destination (S-D) node pair, a maximal number of optical channel (OCh) paths available for source-destination node pair connections and determining, if a preselected latency threshold is specified, for all available OCh paths a maximal number of paths satisfying the preselected latency threshold. The available OCh paths are reported to a Multi-Domain Service coordinator (MDSC).
Abstract:
A method implemented by a domain controller in a network comprises transmitting, by a transmitter of the domain controller to a super controller, an update message comprising path information for one or more parallel paths having a common wavelength from a source to a destination, wherein the one or more parallel paths are free of optical impairments when the update message is transmitted to the super controller, receiving, by a receiver of the domain controller from the super controller, an initiate message comprising an identifier of a path selected from the one or more parallel paths, and provisioning, by a processor of the domain controller, the path based on a verification that the path selected by the super controller is free of optical impairments.

Abstract:
A method including determining how many optical channel (OCh) paths are available for border node pair connections; determining which of the OCh paths satisfy a preselected latency threshold; and reporting the OCh paths that satisfy the preselected latency threshold to a service coordinator.
Abstract:
A method comprising identifying a physical ring in a physical layer of a network according to a logical ring in a logical layer of the network, wherein the logical ring is formed from a plurality of nodes interconnected by a plurality of logical links, and wherein the physical ring is formed from at least the plurality of nodes interconnected by a first plurality of physical links, computing a plurality of cross cord paths across the physical ring, and mapping the logical ring onto the physical layer to provide dual physical link failure survivability by determining primary paths and secondary paths for the plurality of logical links over the physical ring and the plurality of cross cord paths such that a secondary path of a first of the plurality of logical links is non-overlapping with a primary path of a second of the plurality of logical links.
