A method and system for multi-level power management in an optical network is provided. They include three levels of power equalization. The first level of power management equalizes the powers of channels in a band of channels. The second level of power management equalizes the average powers of bands of channels on a fiber. The third level of control equalizes the powers of bands of channels on working and protection fibers for a path in the optical network. As a result, this multi-level power management in the network provides a dynamic, automatic method for the network to adjust to changing operating conditions and configurations and to maintain relatively stable network powers. Each level of power management may be implemented jointly or independently, and operates autonomously so that, for example, one modification comprises continuous first level control and only periodic second level control.

A technique for assigning a wavelength to a new flow in WDM ring networks that minimizes the total number of OE and EO interfaces added to the network is described. A SuperSet comprising thirteen cases representing the spatial relationship between existing wavelengths and the new flow is identified. An OE/EO table identifies for each case in the SuperSet the total number of OE and EO interfaces added. A QoS table identifies an order of priority for selection of a wavelength given a traffic class of the new flow. A mapping of traffic in the network to one of the SuperSet cases is identified and the optimal case that minimizes the total number of OE/EO interfaces added is selected using the OE/EO table. In one embodiment, a wavelength corresponding to the selected case is assigned to the flow. In another embodiment, a determination is made using the QoS table and wavelength grades whether assigning the selected wavelength will result in an acceptable performance for all network traffic.

An optical transmission system is provided in which the signals are transmitted at different wavelengths between terminals of a transmission network and only those signals are regenerated whose quality parameters require regeneration. A management system, when deciding about the location of regeneration, takes the design and the properties of the transmission network including the existing regeneration possibilities and the possible routing into consideration.

An all-optical reference node in an optical communication network detects the power in each channel and, using an optical power monitor and a series of voltage-controlled attenuators connected in a feedback loop, adjusts the power in each channel so as to equalize the power in all channels. The optical reference node also removes amplified spontaneous emissions. Likewise, the power of each channel added at an add/drop node is equalized to the power in the channels that pass through the add/drop node. Thus the power in the respective channels is equal through the network, and amplifiers located at intervals on the network are not driven into saturation as they attempt to amplify weaker signals. According to another embodiment, a simplified optical communication network contains only passive components.
