<p>Network management systems, apparatuses and methods are disclosed for operation of optical networks. The network management system includes a network service layer that provides for integrated wavelength and network configuration planning and implementation to allow the provisioning of existing and evolving multi-dimensional optical networks. The network service layer consolidates responsibilities for planning, coordinating, and allocating current and future network resources, thereby focusing the service and business management on the coordination and optimization of multiple networks under control of the service providers.</p> |
