Methods and systems are disclosed for receiving, with circuitry of a network controller, information indicative of characteristics of incoming data traffic in an information transport network, the network comprising at least one packet switched layer and at least one transport layer; determining to transport the incoming data traffic through at least one determined layer being at least one of the packet switched layer and the transport layer, based on the characteristics of the incoming data traffic and/or network information; determining at least one route for the incoming data traffic through the determined layer; and transmitting a signal containing computer executable instructions to at least one switch, to configure the switch to steer the incoming data traffic through the at least one route of the at least one determined layer. The information indicative of characteristics of data traffic may be gathered/provided by one or more traffic monitor. |

1. A method comprising:
receiving, with circuitry of a network controller, information indicative of characteristics of incoming data traffic in an information transport network, the information transport network comprising at least one packet switched layer and at least one transport layer; determining, with circuitry of the network controller, based on the characteristics of the incoming data traffic, to transport the incoming data traffic through at least one determined layer, the at least one determined layer being at least one of the packet switched layer and the transport layer; determining, with circuitry of the network controller, at least one route for the incoming data traffic through the at least one determined layer; and transmitting, with circuitry of the network controller, a signal containing computer executable instructions to at least one switch, upstream of the information transport network, to configure the switch to steer the incoming data traffic through the at least one route of the at least one determined layer. |
