An optical interface includes circuitry configured to operate the optical interface at a first rate, subsequent to a requirement to subrate the optical interface to a second rate, determine which services are affected, signal a partial failure for the one or more affected services, and operate the optical interface at a second rate that is less than the first rate. The optical interface can be a Flexible Optical (FlexO) or ZR interface.
