Abstract
The is directed to extending wavelength routing on a metro network subtended off an optical agile network. Flexibility on the subtended metro network is obtained by either tuning the head-end transmitter on a metro wavelength that is the operating wavelength of the route to a specified tail-end node (tunable source, fixed wavelength-route dependency) or/and tuning a specified route to the metro wavelength (fixed source, tunable wavelength-route dependency). The routes may be tuned at one or both ends.
