Abstract
The present disclosure provides dynamic service provisioning by creating embedded Optical Transport Network (OTN) ports on the fly during mesh restoration or circuit provisioning. These dynamically provisioned ports are referred to herein as 'fast paths' with all the management objects created in a 'slow path' so that they do not interfere with mesh restoration performance. During network failures, these dynamically created objects are deleted via the “slow path” and a new mesh path supports “fast path” creation of these objects. This results in substantial increase in mesh performance and also provides enhancements for operators allowing a “Click and Go” model to provision circuits across a network. This also reduces routing scaling issue as the routing itself is against the OTU level and not against the embedded lines.
