Systems and methods for enabling point-to-multi-point applications in common management interface specification

A system, comprising:

• a configured muxponder module, comprising:
• an optical receiver configured to receive a combined optical signal comprising a first traffic stream, a second traffic stream, a third traffic stream, and a fourth traffic stream transmitted on a carrier frequency, the first traffic stream and the second traffic stream transmitted from a first electrical port having a first client identification code, and the third traffic stream and the fourth traffic stream transmitted from a second electrical register having a second client identification code, the optical receive configured to convert the combined optical signal to a combined digital signal;
• a first configured electrical port having a first configured host lane associated with a first configured electrical register and a second configured host lane associated with a second configured electrical register;
• a second configured electrical port having a third configured host lane associated with a third configured electrical register and a fourth configured host lane associated with a fourth configured electrical register;
• a demultiplexer having a built-in digital cross-connect configured to demultiplex the combined digital signal into the first traffic stream, the second traffic stream, the third traffic stream, and the fourth traffic stream;
• a configured memory storing a first calculated carrier frequency assigned to the first configured electrical port and a second calculated carrier frequency assigned to the second configured electrical port;
• and
• a configured-module-processor accessing logic to control the digital cross-connect to route the first traffic stream and the second traffic stream to the first configured electrical port based on the first calculated carrier frequency, and the third traffic stream and the fourth traffic stream to the second configured electrical port based on the second calculated carrier frequency.

An optical transport network system, comprising:

• an anchor muxponder module, comprising:
• a first electrical port having a first host lane receiving a first traffic stream and a second host lane receiving a second traffic stream, the first host lane having a first electrical register, and the second host lane having a second electrical register;
• a second electrical port having a third host lane receiving a third traffic stream and a fourth host lane receiving a fourth traffic stream, the third host lane having a third electrical register and the fourth host lane having a fourth electrical register;
• wherein the first electrical register of the first host lane and the second electrical register of the second host lane are associated with a first client identification code, and the third electrical register of the third host lane and the fourth electrical register of the fourth host lane are associated with a second client identification code;
• an anchor module digital cross-connect;
• an anchor module processor configured to cause the anchor module digital cross-connect to encode the first traffic stream and the second traffic stream into digital subcarriers of a first digital subcarrier group based on the first client identification code and an assigned carrier frequency and encode the third traffic stream and the fourth traffic stream into digital subcarriers of a second digital subcarrier group based on the second client identification code and the assigned carrier frequency into a digital signal;
• and
• at least one optical transmitter configured to encode the digital signal containing the first digital subcarrier group and the second digital subcarrier group into an optical signal and transmit the optical signal at the assigned carrier frequency;
• at least one configured muxponder module comprising:
• a first configured electrical port having a first configured host lane associated with a first configured electrical register and a second configured host lane associated with a second configured electrical register;
• a second configured electrical port having a third configured host lane associated with a third configured electrical register and a fourth configured host lane associated with a fourth configured electrical register;
• at least one optical receiver configured to receive the optical signal transmitted at the assigned carrier frequency and decode the optical signal into a second digital signal;
• a configured muxponder digital cross-connect;
• a configured-module-processor accessing logic to control the configured muxponder digital cross-connect to decode the second digital signal into the first digital subcarrier group containing the first traffic stream and the second traffic stream and the second digital subcarrier group containing the third traffic stream and the fourth traffic stream and route the first traffic stream and the second traffic stream to the first configured electrical port based on the first client identification code and the assigned carrier frequency, and the third traffic stream and the fourth traffic stream to the second configured electrical port based on the second client identification code and the assigned carrier frequency;
• and
• a fiber optic link connecting the least one optical transmitter of the anchor module to the at least one optical receiver of the configured module, wherein said fiber optic link is configured to transmit the optical signal.
