Abstract

A network design device includes a processor. The processor determines a second wavelength allocation based on a first wavelength allocation that indicates a wavelength allocation for a plurality of optical lines established in a wavelength division multiplexing optical network. The processor searches for a disconnection target optical line that is requested to be disconnected in order to realize a transition from the first wavelength allocation to the second wavelength allocation from among the plurality of optical lines. The processor generates procedure information that indicates a procedure of the transition from the first wavelength allocation to the second wavelength allocation based on a difference between the first wavelength allocation and the second wavelength allocation and a searched disconnection target optical line.
