Abstract:
A multi-layer network planning system can determine a set of regenerator sites (“RSs”) that have been found to cover all paths among a set of nodes of an optical layer of a multi-layer network and can determine a set of candidate RSs in the optical layer for use by the links between a set of nodes of an upper layer, wherein each RS can be selected as a candidate RS for the links. The system can determine a binary path matrix for the links between the set of nodes of the upper layer. The system can determine a min-cost matrix that includes a plurality of min-cost paths. The system can determine a best RS from the set of candidate RSs and can move the best RS from the set of candidate RSs into the set of RSs for the links. The system can then update the binary path matrix.

Claim (Index 17):
The computer-readable storage medium of  claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise determining a min-cost matrix comprising a plurality of min-cost paths; and wherein determining the best regenerator site from the set of candidate regenerator sites comprises selecting the best regenerator site using a rank function that selects a specific node of the second set of nodes that belongs to a specific min-cost path in the min-cost matrix of a highest number of node pairs from a set of node pairs that do not already have a valid path.
