Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for a configurable optical peering fabric to dynamically create a connection between participant sites without any physical site limitations or necessity of specialized client and network provider equipment being located within such a facility. Client sites to a network may connect to a configurable switching element to be interconnected to other client sites in response to a request to connect the first client site with a second site, also connected to network, via the switching element. A request may trigger verification of the requested and, upon validation, transmission of an instruction to the switching element to enable the cross connect within the switching element. The first site and the second site may thus be interconnected via the switching element in response to the request, without the need to co-locate equipment or to manually install a jumper between client equipment.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for monitoring optical communications between a managed location and a remote location. In particular, an optical signal is transmitted over an optical fiber and passed-through a test device. A portion of the optical signal is filtered from the original optical signal and passed to a monitoring unit. The monitoring unit may instruct one or more switches in the test device to loop the optical signal back toward the managed location. Subsequently, testing and monitoring may be performed at the managed location. The device may provide a test output or may transmit the information to the managed location.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for data center redundancy in relation to a computer network. In particular, the present disclosure provides for one or more available redundant data centers, or bunkers, associated with a computer network. In one embodiment, the bunker data centers are configured to absorb traffic intended for an application operating on a data center when the traffic threatens to overwhelm the application. For example, during a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack, the bunker data centers are configured to absorb some of the traffic from the DDOS attack to prevent the application that is the target of the attack from being overwhelmed.

Abstract: An asymmetrical and dynamic routing system (ADRS) is provided to enable the dynamic adjustment of the bandwidth capacity of two or more network devices exchanging data. The two or more network devices monitor their current bandwidth demand between themselves and others in a network and a first network device can transmit bandwidth request to a second network device when the first network device reaches transmission bandwidth capacity. Each network device is further configured with additional transmit and receive ports and can be selectively enabled in response to a bandwidth request from other network devices. Each network device is further configured to generate control signals that are sent to optical mirrors to re-direct data signals to or from the one or more enabled additional transmit and receive ports.
Abstract translation: 提供了一种不对称和动态路由系统（ADRS），可以动态调整交换数据的两个或多个网络设备的带宽容量。 两个或多个网络设备在网络中监视他们自己与其他网络之间的当前带宽需求，并且当第一网络设备达到传输带宽容量时，第一网络设备可以向第二网络设备发送带宽请求。 每个网络设备还配置有附加的发送和接收端口，并且可以响应于来自其他网络设备的带宽请求而被选择性地启用。 每个网络设备还被配置为产生发送到光学镜的控制信号，以将数据信号重新引导到一个或多个启用的附加发送和接收端口。
