Systems and methods for configurable lane mapping for muxponder modules

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 service 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 service identification code;
• and
• at least one optical transmitter configured to transmit the first traffic stream, the second traffic stream, the third traffic stream, and the fourth traffic stream;
• at least one configured muxponder module comprising:
• at least one optical receiver configured to receive the first traffic stream, the second traffic stream, the third traffic stream, and the fourth traffic stream;
• 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 dynamically configurable digital cross-connect;
• and
• a configured processor accessing a dynamically configurable mapping table to assign traffic streams associated with the first service identification code to the first configured host lane and the second configured host lane of the first configured electrical port, traffic streams associated with the second service identification code to the third configured host lane and the fourth configured host lane of the second configured electrical port, and having logic to control the dynamically configurable digital cross-connect to route the first traffic stream and the second traffic stream to the first configured electrical port based on the first service identification code, and the third traffic stream and the fourth traffic stream to the second configured electrical port based on the second service identification code;
• and
• one or more fiber optic links connecting the least one optical transmitter of the anchor module to the at least one optical receiver of the configured module, wherein said one or more fiber optic links are configured to transmit the first traffic stream, the second traffic stream, the third traffic stream, and the fourth traffic stream.
