ABSTRACT:
In an optical communication network, optical communication nodes exchange information detailing power level variations to support management and administration of optical communications. This exchange of information permits nodes to determine aggregate power level variations over light paths to support operations such as selection from available light paths and configuration of optical communication characteristics.
