Systems and methods for intelligent edge to edge optical system and wavelength provisioning

A processor for optimizing point-to-point communications between two endpoints of a multi-endpoint optical network, the processor including a memory having computer executable instructions stored therein, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

• index all endpoints of the optical network;
• define each potential point-to-point connection between the indexed endpoints;
• determine a topological fiber path for each defined point-to-point connection, wherein each topological fiber path includes one or more optical fiber segments;
• calculate available transmission wavelengths for each of the one or more fiber segments;
• select an optimum fiber path between the two endpoints based on the determined topological fiber path and the calculated available transmission wavelengths;
• and
• provision a point-to-point communication link between the two endpoints along the selected optimum fiber path,
• wherein a first wavelength of the available transmission wavelengths comprises a coherent signal transmission, and a second wavelength of the available transmission wavelengths comprises a non-coherent signal transmission.
