    Abstract: A first network element includes trail trace identifier information in an optical network frame. The first network element obtains data to transmit over an optical network link to a second network element. The first network element generates an optical network frame with alignment marker bytes, which are followed by padding bytes. The optical network frame also includes overhead bytes following the padding bytes. The overhead bytes include a Multi-Frame Alignment Signal (MFAS) byte, a link status byte, and reserved bytes. The optical network frame also includes a payload bytes following the overhead bytes. The payload bytes encode at least a portion of the data to transmit to the second network element. The first network element inserts trail trace identifier information into the reserved bytes in the overhead bytes. The trail trace identifier information identifies the first network element as a source of the optical network frame.

    Abstract: A method of obtaining a measure of asymmetry between optical fibers of a forward and reverse paths is provided in order to synchronize clocks of optical nodes connected by asymmetrical optical fiber paths. The method includes receiving, at first and second arrival times, from a first optical network device, a first optical signal transmitted on a first optical fiber and a second optical signal transmitted on a second optical fiber, calculating a first time difference between the second arrival time and the first arrival time. The method includes determining a measure of asymmetry between the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber based on the first time difference and a second time difference between a first time of transmission by the first optical network device of the first optical signal and a second time of transmission by the first optical network device of the second optical signal.

    Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium for a network interface with adjustable rate are disclosed. For example, one method involves receiving a request to activate a virtual lane of an interface, where the request is received by a first node. The interface is configured to facilitate data communication between the first node and a second node, and the interface includes a plurality of virtual lanes that include at least one active virtual lane, and at least one inactive virtual lane. The method also involves, in response to receiving the request, negotiating with the second node to select an additional virtual lane from the at least one inactive virtual lane. The method involves activating the additional virtual lane. After the activating, the first node and the second node are configured to use the active virtual lane(s) and the additional virtual lane for data communication.
