Abstract
This paper introduces LightLabel, a digital lightpath labeling system for management of photonic networks. This tool promotes no-touch provisioning, adaptive fault tolerance, and intelligent performance monitoring with prediction of impending failures. LightLabel provides an in-band management subchannel, encoded into each lightpath in a way that is particularly well suited to lightpath tracing.
