Abstract
A controller includes a processor; and memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to obtain measurements of optical spectrum from an Optical Power Monitor (OPM) connected to a fiber having thereon, one or more optical signals from one or more optical transmitters, wherein the optical signals are based on a flexible grid, manage the one or more optical signals utilizing a first model and manage attenuation control granularity of a Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) connected to the fiber utilizing a second model, and configure one or more of the WSS and the one or more optical transmitters based on the first model and the second model.
