Abstract

A network design device includes a bypass number setting unit setting the number of bypass node; a loss calculating unit calculating a reference loss; a graph generating unit generating a graph having a variation value obtained based on a difference between a transmission loss of a link coupling nodes to each other and the reference loss; a path detecting unit detecting a minimum-variation-path in which sum of each variation value from a start point to an end point of the graph is minimum; and a comparing unit comparing a calculation OSNR and a reference OSNR, the calculation OSNR being obtained by a calculation from a start point to an end point assuming that an optical amplifier is located on a node other than a bypass node on the minimum-variation-path, wherein the bypass number setting unit changes the number of bypass node based on a result of the comparing unit.
