Abstract
A method of configuring an optical network comprising a switching system, a first node, a second node, and an optical link between the first node and the second node. The optical link includes a first optical connection and a second optical connection. The method includes changing a state of the switching system from a first state to a second state. In the first state, the optical network is configured to use the first and second optical connection to transmit first and second optical signals in first and second directions, respectively. In the second state the optical network is configured to use the second and first optical connections to transmit the first and second optical signals in the first and second directions, respectively.
