Abstract
A method, a system, and a network for coordination between a data control plane and photonic control in a network include operating the data control plane with photonic control messaging included therein, wherein the data control plane is configured to at least establish end-to-end paths between a plurality of network elements at Layer 1; transmitting a photonic control message in or by the data control plane responsive to a requirement for photonic layer information; processing, via the data control plane, the photonic layer information received from photonic control responsive to the photonic control message, wherein the photonic control is configured to adjust photonic hardware responsive to a change at a photonic layer; and performing an action by the data control plane considering the photonic layer information.
