A residual chromatic dispersion target value at a terminal node is set for each wavelength path, and also, candidates of a dispersion compensation amount settable in each chromatic dispersion compensation module on an optical network are set, and further, computation processing is executed for selecting the dispersion compensation amount in each chromatic dispersion compensation module from the candidates so that the sum of errors between the residual chromatic dispersion amounts and the set residual chromatic dispersion target values at the terminal nodes for all of wavelength paths becomes minimum. As a result, for each wavelength path on the optical network, the dispersion compensation amount in each chromatic dispersion compensation module can be designed in optimum so as to satisfy the desired optical signal quality at the terminal node, while considering the residual chromatic dispersion during the transmission.

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.

In an apparatus for supporting designing of an optical network including a plurality of nodes and links which connect the plurality of nodes: a storage stores information indicating distances of the links and information indicating amounts of chromatic dispersion in the links; and a path selection unit selects a path for use in transmission of an optical signal, from among a plurality of paths each extending from a start node to a destination node, by reference to the storage. The path selection unit selects the path for use in transmission on the basis of deviations of amounts of chromatic dispersion accumulated by transmission to respective nodes on each of the plurality of paths, from reference amounts at the respective nodes, and the reference amounts at the respective nodes on each of the plurality of paths are determined according to distances from the start node to the respective nodes.

In an optical network design apparatus, a constraint setter sets a first constraint that one of alternative values given beforehand is selected as the dispersion compensation amount of each node, sets a first margin value that assumes a nonnegative value, sets a second constraint that the first margin value is equal to or greater than the difference between the residual dispersion and the lower bound of an allowable range, sets a second margin value that assumes a nonnegative value, and sets a third constraint that the second margin value is equal to or greater than the difference between the upper bound of the allowable range and the residual dispersion. A calculation controller generates an objective function including the first, second and third constraints and including a summation of the first and second margin values for all paths, and derives a solution that minimizes the objective function.

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.
