Abstract
A computer implemented method of configuring an optical path includes selecting with one or more processors a wavelength for the optical path, generating with one or more processors, a first request for a first type of node in the optical path, generating with one or more processors a second request for a second type of node in the optical path, the second type of node having different data plane capabilities than the first type of node, wherein the first and second requests are generated as a function of a joint configuration model accommodating both types of nodes, and sending the first request from the one or more processors to the first type of node and the second request to the second type of node to configure the optical path.
