Abstract
An approach for providing transmission level control in an optical network having an amplifier chain is disclosed. An optical communications system includes a gateway network element configured to receive an amplifier requirement from a host. The system also includes a network element communicating with the gateway network element over an optical amplifier chain, the network element being configured to receive the amplifier requirement from the gateway network element, and to adjust transmission power level in response to the amplifier requirement (e.g., error rate information including Signal-to-Noise (S/N) ratio, bit error rate (BER), and/or Quality (Q) value).
