Abstract
A wet plant manager (WPM) platform is disclosed in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, and supports management of Smart Undersea Network Elements (SUNEs) by providing an abstracted view of the same to higher level network management functions within an optical communication system. The optical communication system can include an optical cable system extending between two or more cable landing stations (CLSs). Each CLS may execute a respective instance of a WPM platform service, with the collective WPM platform performing self-coordination such that only one instance of a WPM service is 'active' at any given time. The active WPM service supports a plurality of network topologies architected around SUNEs and 'bridges' them such that requests to communicate with a particular SUNE get handled in a transparent manner without the requesters specific knowledge of which command/response (CR) telemetry path was utilized to satisfy the request.
