Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for administrative boundaries in a single domain optical network such as emulation of an External network-network interface (ENNI) using an Internal-Network to Network Interface (INNI). For example, in a single monolithic domain, a network and associated network elements may discover network elements, build topology, compute paths, establish new calls, etc. A user may identify/mark specific links as emulated “ENNI” links with the specific links actually being INNI links. As a call traverses this emulated link, a new call is initiated (much in the same way a new call segment would be created for a call). Signaling proceeds as normal. When the call set-up is fully complete, instead of a single call segment, many call segments exists. Advantageously, this allows use of INNI control plane features while allowing a network operator to future-proof their network by installing call segments at future boundary points.

Abstract: In a network having working and protection paths, extra traffic is put on the protection paths when they are not being used by working traffic. In the event of a fault in a working path, the working traffic is switched to a respective protection path using a span switch operation. The extra traffic is displaced, but at least some of it is protected by switching it to an alternative path using a ring switch operation.
