Abstract: A lazy graph construction with compression includes receiving a query related to a network; one of generating a site graph for the network and accessing the site graph already in memory; performing a search on the site graph based on the query; accessing data in a database and generating, in the memory, a plurality of sub-graphs using the data, for the query; and providing a solution to the query based on the search and a search of the plurality of sub-graphs. The site graph can be at a site level and includes network elements and associated connections in the network, and the plurality of sub-graphs can be at an intra-site level including any of component-to-component connections and intra-component connections.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for the temporal monitoring and visualization of the health of a direct interconnect network wherein discovered and configured nodes provide node telemetry data from each node or every port on each node at time interval, and the node telemetry data is stored in a temporal datastore at each time interval with a timestamp for a retention period, such that the temporal datastore contains a temporal history of node telemetry data from each node or every port on each node during the retention period. The node telemetry data is analyzed, alarms are raised as necessary, a health status commensurate with the severity of the node telemetry data is assigned and stored for each node or every port on each node, and a health score is calculated for such nodes and ports based on the assigned health status for use by a user interface.

Abstract: An optical control system is described which is capable of maintaining and optimizing a fiber-optic transport system within it's domain of control while interacting with other optical systems which are controlled independently. This allows the optical system to be incorporated as a building block into a larger optical network in a relatively arbitrary fashion. This provides an underlying control system for a non-linear system like optics network that is flexible and extensible.
