Claim 7:
8. An optical domain controller of an optical network, the domain controller comprising:
a communication port communicating with a database of configurations of an optical network;
a processor in communication with the communication port to receive configurations of an optical network; and
a non-transitory memory comprising instructions encoded thereon, the instructions, when executed by the processor, are operable to:
receive configuration change notification from a first optical network device of the optical network, the configuration change notification based on a request for an optical connection service of a first network to a second network via the optical network;
transmit, to a second optical network device associated with a network component, a configuration instruction to configure the network component based on the configuration change notification from the first optical network device; and
transmit, to the first optical network device and the second optical network device, service connection instructions configuring an inter-device connection between the first optical network device and the second optical network device in response to the request for the optical connection service.
