Abstract:
A method including determining how many optical channel (OCh) paths are available for border node pair connections; determining which of the OCh paths satisfy a preselected latency threshold; and reporting the OCh paths that satisfy the preselected latency threshold to a service coordinator.

Claim (Index 21):
A software defined network (SDN) controller configured to manage a wavelength-switched optical network, comprising:\n a processor; a Northbound Interface (NBI) coupled to the processor; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing programming instructions comprising a wavelength-switched optical network (WSON) abstraction module, wherein the WSON abstraction module, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:\n communicate, to a multi-domain Service Coordinator (MDSC) via the NBI, an abstraction of a wavelength-switched optical network coupled to the SDN controller; and \n generate the abstraction by determining one of a minimum latency optical channel (OCh) path between a border node pair in response to a request from the MDSC, a maximal number of available OCh paths between each reachable border node pair, and a maximal number of OCh paths between each reachable border node pair satisfying a preselected latency threshold condition.
