Reconstruction of an optical network link in a link viewer based on a text file

A computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a text file including network information for an optical network,
• the network information including information for an optical route in the optical network;
• generate a user interface based on the text file,
• the user interface displaying multiple representations of the optical route;
• provide the user interface for display;
• receive a user input via the user interface;
• and
• change between the multiple representations of the optical route displayed by the user interface based on the user input and the network information included in the text file.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a device, a text file including network information for an optical network,
• generating, by the device, a user interface based on the text file,
• the user interface including a plurality of view types for viewing different representations of the optical network;
• providing, by the device, the user interface for display;
• receiving, by the device, a user input via the user interface;
• selecting, by the device, a view type included in the plurality of view types based on the user input;
• and
• providing, by the device, a representation of the optical network for display based on the selected view type and the network information included in the text file,
• the different representations including the representation.
