Abstract:
1. A network design method that determines a TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) transmission line for accommodating a given demand, that is represented by a start point, an end point, a bandwidth, and a route, in a network including a plurality of TDM transmission lines, the method comprising: extracting, for respective TDM transmission lines, an available demand that is capable of using the TDM transmission line from among a plurality of given demands; calculating a total bandwidth of the extracted available demand for respective TDM transmission lines; sequentially selecting the plurality of demands; generating candidates for a combination of TDM transmission lines that accommodate the selected demand; and determining a combination of TDM transmission lines that accommodates the selected demand from among the candidates for the combination of TDM transmission lines, wherein the process of generating the candidates for the selected demand includes:
