Abstract
A system may receive user input that identifies network entities in an optical network. The system may provide a user interface that displays a representation of the network entities and of optical link types configured to carry optical signals among the network entities. The system may receive user input that identifies a particular optical link type, and may display a representation of optical links, of the particular optical link type, that are associated with the network entities. The system may also display an indication of an allocation status of the optical links. The system may receive user input that identifies an available optical link to be allocated for an optical transmission, and may provide, to the network entities and based on the user input, information that identifies the available optical link to permit the available optical link to be allocated for the optical transmission between the network entities.
