<p>A system for controlling a purely photonic network comprising:
at least one digital computing device configured for:
storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the instructions to control a photonic network, the photonic network comprising purely photonic elements that require no electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical conversion between a network input port and a network output port, wherein the digital computing device stores:
1) relationship information that describes the relationships between a plurality of network elements in the photonic network; and
2) configuration information that describes the current state of each of the plurality of network elements;
receiving a path generation request that includes a first port identifier and a second port identifier, wherein the first port identifier represents an input port and the second port identifier represents a first output port;
based at least in part on the relationship information and the configuration information, generating candidate paths that begin at the input port and end at at least the first output port.</p> |
