Abstract
An API including a registration function and a configuration function, is provided to an optical networking apparatus to facilitate registration of configuration specification delimiter pairs by service routines of function blocks of multi-protocol optical networking modules (MPONM), and extraction of configuration specifications for the function blocks from a configuration specification input set using the registered configuration specification delimiter pairs. In one embodiment, the configuration function also receives current configuration of the function blocks, and merges the received current configurations of the function blocks into a configuration specification output set, separating the merged configuration specification using the registered configuration specification delimiters.
