Near-real-time and real-time communications
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code;
wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to;
receive, by a network device configured to communicate data of a service via a set of available wavelength paths supported by the network device, wavelength path latency information comprising, for each of the available wavelength paths, respective bounded latency path information for the respective available wavelength path and respective lowest latency path information for the respective available wavelength path; and
perform, by the network device based on the wavelength path latency information, a management action for the service.

Abstract
The present disclosure generally discloses capabilities for supporting new network zones and associated services. The network zones and associated services may include a near-real-time (NRT) zone and associated NRT services, a real-time (RT) zone and associated RT services, or the like. The resilient network zones and associated resilient and non-resilient services may be configured to provide bounded latency guarantees for reliably supporting various types of applications (e.g., mobile fronthaul, cloud computing, Internet-of-Things (IoT), or the like). The network zones and associated services may be provided using a distance-constrained fiber and wavelength switching fabric design comprised of various network devices and using associated controllers, which may be configured to support service provisioning functions, service testing functions, wavelength switching functions, and so forth.
