Patent ID: 8363562

Claim:
A system, comprising: an optical transport network including at least one intelligent control plane capability and at least one synchronous optical network capability and configured to provide at least one bandwidth-on-demand service; at least one service logic, each service logic configured to define one of at least one procedure for managing said bandwidth-on-demand services; an operation support subsystem communicatively coupled to said optical transport network; and a service logics engine associated with said operation support subsystem and having access to said at least one service logic, said operation support subsystem being configured to: receive a bandwidth service request, extract at least one parameter from said bandwidth service request, identify at least a subset of said at least one service logic associated with said bandwidth service request, and use said associated service logics engine to insert at least a subset of said at least one parameter extracted from said bandwidth service request into said identified subset of said at least one service logic, and execute said identified subset of said at least one service logic with at least a subset of the extracted parameters to generate, for said operation support subsystem, at least one command configured to be executable by said optical transport network.
