Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to implement a full-time protection mechanism and a new class of service offerings based on mechanisms to achieve an 'always protected' type of transport service for a networking environment where there may be multiple failures or synchronized attacks. This suite of services may utilize intelligent control plane technology in the optical transport network to support an 'always on' protection capability.
