Abstract

A network design method that determines a TDM transmission line for accommodating a given demand includes: extracting an available demand from among a plurality of provided demands; calculating a total bandwidth of the extracted available demand; 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. The generating process includes: extracting a TDM transmission line with a band utilization efficiency higher than a specified threshold from among TDM transmission lines including the selected demand as an available demand; and generating candidates for a combination of TDM transmission lines that accommodate the selected demand using the extracted TDM transmission line.
