Abstract
A computerized method for modifying an optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network is described. The method includes providing an initial configuration of the optical WDM network. At least one parameter that represents a characteristic of a span in the optical WDM network as defined by the initial configuration is evaluated. The initial configuration of the optical WDM network is modified in response to the evaluation. The method can also include determining if a predetermined set of engineering rules are satisfied.
