Abstract
A method includes receiving a restoration indicator associated with a path that includes an optical cross-connect (OXC). The OXC is reconfigured from a standby configuration to a restoration configuration in response to the restoration indicator. An optical signal received in a first direction at a first wavelength is optically regenerated to produce an optical signal in the first direction at a second wavelength. An optical signal received in a second direction at the second wavelength is optically regenerated to produce an optical signal in the second direction at the first wavelength.
