Abstract

A method of selecting an optimal set of spans for fiber cut simulations for a network carrying a plurality of demand-routes between a plurality of nodes interconnected by a plurality of fiber spans includes the steps of selecting from the plurality of spans a set of critical spans and selecting from the set of critical spans a minimal set of critical spans.
