An optical network design apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a connection limit corresponding to the number of connections between ports. The processor provisionally designs a traffic path across an optical network independently of a connection limit of an asymmetric optical hub, calculates a penalty allowance with respect to the penalty limit of the traffic path, calculates an additional penalty caused on a detour path derived by replacing a port with a replacement port in the asymmetric optical hub, and if an asymmetric optical hub is included in the detour path, generates asymmetric optical hub information about the included asymmetric optical hub, generates, based on the connection limit, penalty allowance, additional penalty, and asymmetric optical hub information, a constraint condition for adopting the traffic path satisfying the connection limit and penalty limit, and calculates the traffic path by mathematical programming under the constraint condition.

There is provided an apparatus and method for allocating devices to a communication route. Network topology information and device information including a device-cost assigned to each of candidate-devices allowed to be allocated to a plurality of segments on the communication route are provided. An integer/linear programming problem is generated to obtain a feasible device-allocation, and an objective function for calculating an objective function value is defined. A sequence of feasible device-allocations are generated by sequentially generating a next feasible device-allocation from a current feasible device-allocation while improving an objective function value until the objective function value is not improved any more, and the last one of the sequence of feasible device-allocations is determined to be an optimum device-allocation. The next feasible device-allocation is generated from the current feasible device-allocation by replacing a basic candidate-device with an alternative candidate-device selected based on reduced-costs calculated for nonbasic candidate-devices.

The first route searching unit searches among multiple routes from a start node toward a goal node for a first route by using topology information. The topology information changing unit changes the topology information by excluding the first route from the multiple routes and setting, to configuration links constituting the first route, additional links whose direction is opposite to that of the configuration links. The port information changing unit changes port information such that communication in a direction from the goal node toward the start node is permitted in the configuration links and the additional links. The second route searching unit searches for a second route by using the changed topology information and the changed port information. The redundant route searching unit searches for a pair of redundant routes by eliminating the configuration links that overlap on the first route and the second route.

In a network design apparatus, a full channel evaluator determines whether all wavelength channels for main signals can deliver the main signals of an existing optical network. When it is found that one or more wavelength channels cannot deliver main signals, a chromatic dispersion evaluator determines whether there are a specified number of wavelength channels that satisfy a specified chromatic dispersion condition. An optical signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) evaluator extracts a specified number of wavelength channels out of those satisfying the chromatic dispersion condition in descending order of optical SNRs thereof, and determines whether the extracted wavelength channels satisfy a specified optical SNR condition.

A dispersion compensation design system includes a segment dividing unit to divide an optical network into segments of a linear network or a ring network, a path classifying unit to classify one of paths of the optical network, as a specific type path, the one of the paths being incapable of transmitting an optical signal and contained in a longer path having a route longer than that of the one of the paths and capable of transmitting the optical signal, a segment reconfiguration unit to reconfigure the segments so as to maximize a number of the specific type paths, a dispersion compensation amount computing unit to compute a dispersion compensation amount in any of spans of the optical network so as to minimize the number of the specific type paths within the reconfigured segment, and an update unit to update the dispersion compensation amount with the computed dispersion compensation amount.

A network design apparatus includes an input unit configured to receive network information that indicates nodes connected by optical transmission paths and path information that indicates paths between the nodes; an design unit configured to perform, based on the network information and the path information, wavelength dispersion compensation design using a constraint condition that a path whose span count is larger than a span count of another path that does not satisfy a transmission condition does not satisfy the transmission condition; and an output unit configured to output a result obtained by the design unit.

There is provided topology information including connection states among nodes in a network, and port information including restriction conditions on connectivity among ports within a restricted node. A path search apparatus finds a first path having the minimum total link-cost among a plurality of paths. The topology information is changed so that the first path is not searched for as a path having the minimum total link-cost among the plurality of paths, and the port information is changed based on a port connectivity change rule. Then, the path search apparatus finds a second path different from the first path, based on the changed port information and the changed topology information, and reconfigures a pair of link-disjoint paths satisfying the restriction conditions imposed on the restricted node, by removing a link shared by both the first and second paths from the original topology information.

A network design device includes a bypass number setting unit setting the number of bypass node; a loss calculating unit calculating a reference loss; a graph generating unit generating a graph having a variation value obtained based on a difference between a transmission loss of a link coupling nodes to each other and the reference loss; a path detecting unit detecting a minimum-variation-path in which sum of each variation value from a start point to an end point of the graph is minimum; and a comparing unit comparing a calculation OSNR and a reference OSNR, the calculation OSNR being obtained by a calculation from a start point to an end point assuming that an optical amplifier is located on a node other than a bypass node on the minimum-variation-path, wherein the bypass number setting unit changes the number of bypass node based on a result of the comparing unit.

In the case that a client signal having a bandwidth larger than BW divided by P exists, where the P is the number of client ports of one optical transponder card and the BW is an optical signal band, it is configured to accommodate client signals in one optical transponder card by combining plural client signals of which the total band is no greater than the BW and which have different bands so as to make it a maximum within the aforementioned range.
