A technique for providing inter-nodal communications in a photonics network is disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized by as a method for providing inter-nodal communications in a photonics network having a plurality of network nodes each having a unique network address. Such a method may comprise receiving a dedicated inter-nodal communications optical signal at a first of the plurality of network nodes, wherein the received dedicated inter-nodal communications optical signal includes a destination network address. The method may also comprise forwarding the received dedicated inter-nodal communications optical signal to a second of the plurality of network nodes if the destination network address does not match the unique network address of the first network node. The method may further comprise processing the received dedicated inter-nodal communications optical signal at the first network node if the destination network address matches the unique network address of the first network node, wherein the received dedicated inter-nodal communications optical signal is processed by extracting any one of audio, video, and data information from the received dedicated inter-nodal communications optical signal for use at the first network node.
