Connection editing
Connection editing for the optical interface allows the user to change traffic
configurations through single or multiple connection type editing, while
maintaining live traffic. A forced switch or lockout may be required before the
edit to ensure that traffic is maintained.

In-service traffic rollover
In-service traffic rollover allows you to migrate live traffic within the transport
network. You can migrate any cross-connect end point to any other end point
capable of servicing the cross-connect rate, independent of the protection
scheme at the end point.
network. You can migrate any cross-connect end point to any other end point
capable of servicing the cross-connect rate, independent of the protection
scheme at the end point.
This operation is also supported to provide reconfigurations, such as merging
two UPSRs. This can be done on path-switched connections (1WAYPR and
2WAYPR) to move traffic from one cross-connect termination to a new
termination without disrupting service.

In service Channel Rollover in BLSR networks is the act of moving VT or STS
channels across time slots within a span. In service Route Rollover in BLSR
networks is the act of moving VT or STS channels from the short path to the
long path.
