Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for dynamically configuring a muxponder. One exemplary system may be provided with a muxponder module deployed in an optical network, the muxponder having an optical receiver, a first and a second electrical port, a demultiplexer having a built-in digital cross-connect, and a processor accessing a mapping table to assign traffic streams associated with a first service identification code to a first and a second host lane of the first electrical port, traffic streams associated with a second service identification code to a third and a fourth host lane of the second electrical port, and having logic to control the digital cross-connect to route a first and a second traffic stream to the first electrical port based on the first service identification code, and a third and a fourth traffic stream to the second electrical port based on the second service identification code.
