An apparatus comprising a processor, wherein the processor is configured to to determine a plurality of available wavelengths that are available to transmit data over an optical network comprising a plurality of downstream nodes, select a plurality of encoding wavelengths from the available wavelengths, wherein the encoding wavelengths is a subset of the available wavelengths, and encode the data using the encoding wavelengths, wherein the encoding wavelengths dictate the switching behavior of the downstream nodes when the data is received by the downstream nodes. |
