ABSTRACT:
A system, device, and method for managing connection establishment and related services in an optical communication system uses an optical service agent to manage the connection establishment and related services on behalf of a user. The optical service agent may negotiate various connection and connection-related services, model connections, reserve communication services, establish connections on behalf of the user, and aggregate multiple optical communication paths over a connection, to name but a few. The optical service agent may interact with an optical communication network and/or various peer users in order to obtain and reserve communication services.
