    Abstract: An interface mapping method includes obtaining, at a network controller, device information of network devices configured to be in communication with each other through an optical network. The network devices include a plurality of colored interfaces that support a range of wavelengths for communication in the optical network. Interface information of the colored interfaces of the network devices is obtained, and optical power information associated with each of the colored interfaces is obtained. Optical power margins for a transmitter interface of the colored interfaces. The transmitter interface is controlled to transmit a power sequence based on the optical power margins, and power readings are obtained from a receiver interface of the colored interfaces. A topology between the colored interfaces is discovered based on the power sequence and the power readings.

    Abstract: In some aspects, a method of the technology can include steps for sending a packet along a service function chain (SFC) to an egress node, the SFC comprising a plurality of service function forwarders (SFFs), wherein each SFF is associated with at least one service function (SF), and receiving the packet at a first SFF in the SFC, wherein the first SFF is associated with a first SF. In some aspects, the first SFF can also be configured to perform operations including: reading an option flag of the packet, and determining whether to forward the packet to the first based on the option flag. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a server has connectivity to a network that includes a plurality of nodes. The server stores a context identifier that is associated with backup path information stored at a particular node of the plurality of nodes, the backup path information indicating a backup path in the network. The server sends to the particular node a probe packet having a data plane instruction label that includes an identifier of the particular node, the context identifier and server identifier information. The context identifier in the probe packet causes the particular node to retrieve the backup path information and send the probe packet to a next hop node in the backup path based on the backup path information. The server determines whether the probe packet is received at the server after traversing the backup path, and validates the backup path for the particular node accordingly.
