Abstract

See full text

Techniques are described for determining the topology of an optical network. A computing device receives a message on a data communication network after a first device in an optical network receives an optical pulse pattern on an optical fiber in the optical network. The computing device generates topology data using the message. The topology data indicates that a second device is physically connected in the optical network to the first device when the received optical pulse pattern matches an optical pulse pattern sent by the second device.
