1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform steps of:
receiving a list of prioritized optical restoration paths for each of a plurality of failures in a multi-layer network, wherein each list of prioritized optical restoration paths for a corresponding failure of the plurality of failures is determined based on modeling impact of a given failure on a higher layer, relative to an optical layer, wherein the higher layer is separate from the optical layer, and wherein prioritization in the list of prioritized optical restoration paths includes ranking based on impact of the corresponding failure of the plurality of failures in the higher layer; and
responsive to a failure of the plurality of failures, utilizing a corresponding list of prioritized optical restoration paths for the failure to restore services in the optical layer.
