Abstract
Some embodiments include a method for computing a path across multi-vendor and multi-generational equipment where the latter can include obsolete equipment. Some embodiments include utilizing service hierarchies to determine available bandwidth in a fiber optic network given an input frequency width (FW) for wavelength carrier service routing, determining available routes that satisfy the FW, as well as timeslot availability (e.g., bandwidth availability) along an established carrier service at a specified client service data rate. Some embodiments include mapping a lowest transmission rate of the obsolete equipment to various fiber optic network standards. Some embodiments utilize the mapped information with OTN service discovery and service hierarchies to track timeslots of the obsolete equipment along the computed path across multi-vendor and multi-generational networks. Some embodiments include carrier service bridging and timeslot switching as well as path trace verification.
