Method for provisioning point-to-point communication between two endpoints of an optical access network and a multi-endpoint optical network

摘要

The optical access network includes an optical hub having at least one processor. The network further includes a plurality of optical distribution centers, each connected to the optical hub by a plurality of optical fiber segments, and a plurality of geographic fiber node serving areas. Each fiber node serving area of the plurality of fiber node serving areas includes at least one optical distribution center of the plurality of optical distribution centers. The network further includes a plurality of endpoints. Each of the plurality of endpoints is in operative communication with at least one optical distribution center. The network further evaluates (i) each possible communication path on the plurality of fiber optic segments between the first endpoint and the second endpoint and (ii) based on predetermined routing criteria. A point-to-point network provisioning system configured to select the optimal fiber path.
