Digital link viewer

A computer-readable medium, comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a first user input that identifies an optical route in an optical network;
• receive a second user input that identifies a direction with which to display a plurality of network entities associated with the optical route;
• and
• provide, based on the first user input and the second user input, a user interface that displays:
• information that identifies the plurality of network entities,
• information that identifies one or more optical links associated with the optical route,
• information that identifies a source entity, of the one or more network entities, the source entity identifying a source of an optical transmission carried by an optical link, of the one or more optical links,
• information that identifies a destination entity, of the one or more network entities, the destination entity identifying a destination for the optical transmission, and
• information that identifies a power adjustment made to the optical transmission at the source entity or the destination entity.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a device, a first user input that identifies an optical route in an optical network, the optical route being associated with a plurality of optical links, and each optical link being associated with an optical transmission;
• receiving, by the device, a second user input that identifies a source entity and a destination entity associated with the optical route, the source entity identifying a source of the optical transmission, and the destination entity identifying a destination for the optical transmission;
• and
• providing, by the device and based on the first user input and the second user input, for display:
• information that identifies one or more optical links, of the plurality of optical links;
• information that identifies the source entity,
• information that identifies the destination entity, and
• information that identifies a power adjustment made to the optical transmission at the source entity or the destination entity.
