Abstract:
Methods, systems, and optical nodes are disclosed. The problems caused by the time-consuming process of serial activation of optical nodes in a restore path are addressed by utilizing a controller that controls all optical nodes in a restore path, in a parallel fashion, for faster restoration of the restore path.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising the steps of:\n receiving, by circuitry of a software defined network L0 network controller, first network performance information of a transport network having a first path through the transport network including a head end node, a tail end node and a first intermediate node, the transport network having a second path through the transport network including the head end node, the tail end node and a second intermediate node wherein the second intermediate node is exclusive from the first intermediate node; determining a location of a fault within the first path; calculating first power adjustment parameters and first estimated passband attenuation parameters for the head end node, the tail end node and the second intermediate node; passing, by the software defined network L0 network controller, a message to the head end node to cause the head end node to reduce a source of transmitter launch optical power on the second path; configuring, by the software defined network L0 network controller, the head end node, the tail end node and the second intermediate node with the first power adjustment parameters and the first estimated passband attenuation parameters in parallel; and receiving, by the software defined network L0 network controller, second network performance information from the head end node, the tail end node and the second intermediate node indicative of the performance of the second path subsequent to the head end node, the tail end node and the second intermediate node being configured with the power adjustment parameters and the estimated passband attenuation parameters; and configuring, in a serial manner, the head end node, the second intermediate node and the tail end node with second power adjustment parameters and second estimated passband attenuation parameters based upon the second network performance information.
