Abstract
A system and method for control messaging in an optical network is provided. A provisioning data path for the transmission of provisioning data to an Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAM&P) subsystem is provided within a prefabricated cable When the prefabricated cable is placed in the system during the provisioning process, provisioning information is transmitted to the OAM&P subsystem over the provisioning data path and a cross-connector. Later the same path may be used to transmit data regarding the logical provisioning of the connection.
