Abstract
Systems and methods include providing a user interface visualizing a current state of an optical network; receiving user inputs related to capacity mining in the optical network; determining a future state with the capacity mining based on the user inputs; and providing the user interface visualizing the future state. The future state can be presented with respect to a failed link and restoration of traffic on the failed link. The future state can include a plurality of plans with a visualization showing how much of the traffic is restored based on different approaches to the capacity mining. The capacity mining can include configuring optical modems based on determined available excess capacity.
