Correcting traffic misconnections in optical communications networks

A system comprising:

• a transceiver comprising:
• one or more first network interfaces for exchanging one or more ingress data flows with a hub node of an optical communications network, and
• one or more second network interfaces for exchanging one or more egress data flows with a plurality of leaf nodes of the optical communications network;
• and
• a microcontroller communicatively coupled to the one or more first network interfaces and the one or more second network interfaces, wherein the microcontroller is configured to:
• receive, from the one or more first network interfaces and the one or more second network interfaces, a plurality of messages from the hub node and the leaf nodes, wherein each of the messages corresponds to a respective one of the one or more ingress data flows or a respective one of the one or more egress data flows;
• generate a resource assignment map based on the messages, wherein the resource assignment map comprises:
• an indication of one or more pairings between a respective one of the one or more ingress data flows and a respective one of the one or more egress data flows, and
• for each of the one or more pairings, an indication of a respective network resource assigned to exchange the egress data flow of that pairing with a respective one of the leaf nodes;
• and
• generate a command to cause the transceiver to transmit the one or more egress data flows in accordance with the resource assignment map.
