Abstract
A bi-directional optical controller includes an upstream optical interface, a downstream optical interface, and an optical circuit coupling the interfaces such that optical signals received at either interface is routed to the other interface. The optical circuit is adapted to allow, for example, enable or disable, a first set of prespecified optical services to be provided in at least one of the upstream or downstream direction on an optical signal received at the respective downstream or upstream interface.

A bi-directional optical controller, comprising:
- an upstream optical interface;
- a downstream optical interface;
- and
- an optical circuit coupling said upstream with said downstream interface such that optical signals received at either interface is routed to the other interface, said optical circuit adapted to allow a first set of prespecified optical services to be provided in at least one of the upstream or downstream direction on an optical signal received at the respective downstream or upstream interface.
