Abstract
There is provided a method for optimizing the configuration of an optical network which is adapted to transport optical traffic along a path from a source node to a destination node, wherein the path can be routed via any one or more of a plurality of intermediate nodes in the optical network. The method comprises the steps of receiving an operating parameter of an optical device monitored in a plurality of nodes. The received operating parameter is compared with a threshold value. An operating status of a node is determined based on the comparison of the received operating parameter with the threshold value. The determined operating status of a node is used as a routing criteria for computing a path for routing traffic through the optical network.
