Abstract
Systems and methods implemented by a network element in a G.8032 ring include steps of operating an Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) session with an adjacent network element; and detecting an optical bypass in the G.8032 ring based on the OAM session. The steps can include flushing a forwarding database of the network element based on the optical bypass. The steps can include detecting prior to the optical bypass, that a neighboring node includes a ring block; and subsequent to the optical bypass, installing a new channel block. The optical bypass enables faster protection switching and the present disclosure incorporates an optical bypass in G.8032.
