Abstract

See full text

An optical network and a method are described. In the method, an orchestrator of an optical communication system receives an operation to execute, the operation being to activate or deactivate a service within a transmission signal of the optical communication system, the optical communication system having a span and an amplifier coupled to and supplying optical signals into each span. Network status data for each span within the optical communication system is retrieved, and the list of operations is analyzed with the network status data including existing data traffic on the fiber optic line to select a subset of the list of operations to execute that maintains the transmission signal below a bit error rate threshold. The orchestrator issues one or more signals to cause the one or more service within the subset of the list of operations to be activated or deactivated on the optical communication system.
