Abstract: Optical networks and nodes are described herein, including an optical network comprising a head-end node and a tail-end node. A line module of the head-end node receives fault information, generates a fault packet, and sends the fault packet to a first node controller identified by first packet forwarding information included in a packet header of the fault packet. The first node controller retrieves second packet forwarding information using the first packet forwarding information, updates the packet header, and sends the fault packet to the tail-end node identified by the second packet forwarding information. A second node controller of the tail-end node retrieves third packet forwarding information using the second packet forwarding information, updates the packet header, and sends the fault packet to an optical protection switching module (OPSM) of the tail-end node identified by the second packet forwarding information. The OPSM switches an optical switch based on the fault information.

The controller comprises an interface, a controller processor, and a controller memory storing instructions and an application that cause the controller processor to: instantiate a first network having a first client and a first server; register a plugin associated with the CPA with the first network; register an interface having a callback function and operable to communicate with the CPA via a second network; receive, by the interface via the second network, a request having a request property from the CPA; transmit the request, via the plugin, to the first client; receive a response via the first client from a remote node; and transmit, by the interface, the response to the module processor via the second network.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are optical networks and nodes, including a head-end node comprising a controller and a line module. The line module comprises a first processor and first memory storing instructions that when executed by the first processor cause the first processor to receive fault information, generate a fault packet and a fault trigger request that include a sequence number, a sequence reset time, and the fault information, and send the fault packet via a first network path and the fault trigger request via a second network path to the controller. The controller comprises a second processor, second memory storing second instructions, and packet forwarding circuitry configured to receive and automatically forward the fault packet to a tail-end optical node. The second instructions cause the second processor to receive the fault trigger request, process the fault trigger request, and send the fault trigger request to the tail end optical node.

Abstract: A system, a line module in a terminal node of an optical network, and/or a method are described in which a first embedded device of a first line module transmits a first fault signal to a first real time processor of the first line module. In response, the first real time processor triggers the first embedded device to deactivate a first laser of a first coherent optical transceiver of the first line module and transmits a second fault signal to a second real time processor of a second line module. In response, the second real time processor triggers a second embedded device of the second line module to activate a second laser of a second coherent optical transceiver of the second line module. The first laser and the second laser may be operable to supply a first optical signal and a second optical signal, respectively.

Abstract: Call setup methods in a multi-domain network and a multi-domain network use dynamic link tagging and/or overbooking of External Network-Network Interface (ENNI) links. Thus, improved call setup systems and methods include two approaches to improve upon the responsiveness of the network for connection setups including bandwidth reservation in optical networks using “dynamic link tags” and link overbooking in optical networks based on a greedy approach. The bandwidth reservation and the link overbooking can be utilized together or separately to improve call setup. Advantageously, the improved call setup systems and methods can provide a generic bandwidth reservation mechanism, such as in Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON) networks, to overcome the limitation of ENNI in concurrently updating the abstract link bandwidth and thereby improving the responsiveness of the network.
