Abstract
A controller maps a plurality of client-side traffic ports to a plurality of line-side optical ports of a wavelength division multiplexing system, that are operatively coupled to at least one optical long haul link. The controller determines idle traffic overhead associated with at least one mapped client-side traffic port of the plurality of client-side traffic ports. The controller determines that there is underutilized bandwidth capacity in at least a first line-side optical port in the plurality of mapped line-side ports that would reduce a need for use of at least a second line-side optical port. The controller logically remaps at least one client-side traffic port from the second line-side port to the underutilized first line-side optical port in response to determining that there is underutilized bandwidth capacity of the first line-side optical port.
