1. A method for engineering of a connection in a WDM photonic network with a plurality of flexibility sites connected by links, comprising:

  • (a) calculating a physical end-to-end route between a source node and a destination node;

    (b) setting-up a data communication path along said end-to-end route;

    (c) detecting an end-to-end operational parameter of said data communication path at a power level that is between a maximum useful power level and a provisional power level; and

    (d) comparing said operational parameter with a margin tolerance and declaring said data communication path as established, whenever said operational parameter is above said margin tolerance.
