Claim Text:
1. A system, comprising: one or more nodes to: determine a failure in a first path for routing first optical network traffic between a first set of networking devices, determine, based on determining the failure, a second path for routing the first optical network traffic between the first set of networking devices, the second path including a second set of optical transport nodes that route second optical network traffic between a second set of networking devices, the second set of optical transport nodes including at least one node that is not included in the first set of optical transport nodes; pre-empt routing of the second optical network traffic via the second path based on determining the second path; and route the first optical network traffic via the second path, after pre-empting routing of the second optical network traffic via the second path, where the one or more nodes are further to:
