An orchestration adapter of an optical network is herein described. The orchestration adapter comprises a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to: store a mapping of a correspondence between logical-view passbands and physical-view passbands, each of the physical-view passbands comprising one or more partition(s), each corresponding to a particular logical-view passband; receive a logical-view operation request from an orchestrator of a network element, the logical-view operation request identifying an operation and a first logical-view passband, the operation being executable by a control block of the network element; and send a physical-view operation request to the control block, the physical-view operation request comprising instructions to cause the control block to execute the operation, the instructions identifying the operation and a first physical-view passband, a first partition of the first physical-view passband corresponding to the first logical-view passband.

A system and method is disclosed in which circuitry of a first controller of a first node on a first path within a transport network receives a first signal indicating a failure within the first path from a second controller. The first node is an end node of the first path. A first client signal failure clear signal is received from a second node upstream of the first node on the first path. The first client signal failure clear signal indicates that a non-restorable fault has been resolved such that the first path can be considered for carrying data traffic. The non-restorable fault is a failure at the source. Subsequent to receiving the first signal indicating the failure within the first path, a backward defect indication clear signal is transmitted to the second node, the backward defect indication clear signal indicating an absence of a failure in the first path.
