Abstract
A computer device may include logic configured to receive a selection of a start node and an end node in an optical network and obtain network topology information relating to the optical network. The logic may be further configured to determine link latencies for particular links in the optical network; determine a least latency path between the start node and the end node based on the obtained network topology information and the determined link latencies, and wherein the least latency path includes one or more of the particular links; determine one or more alternate paths to the determined least latency path; determine channel availability for the least latency path and the one or more alternate paths; and generate a user interface that relates the least latency path and the one or more alternate paths to the determined channel availability.
