Abstract
A method may include obtaining a topology of an optical network. The topology may indicate multiple optical links within the optical network. The method may also include determining a signal noise tolerance for each of multiple optical signal types supported by the optical network and obtaining an optical noise for each of the multiple optical links. The method may also include determining a number of the multiple optical signal types that each of the multiple optical links is able to support based on the optical noise for each of the optical links and the signal noise tolerance for each of the multiple optical signal types and ranking the multiple optical links based on the number of the multiple optical signal types that each of the optical links is able to support.
