Abstract
A topology design device for an optical transmission network includes a memory; and a processor to determine a bypass target area as an area to which a bypass route is to be added in the network, the area indicating a region surrounded by nodes and edges, based on an area demand, namely a total value of a demand for communication to be performed via an edge, by referencing a topology management database storing information regarding nodes, edges, and areas in the network, and a demand management database storing demands in the network; and exclude a node from nodes constituting the bypass target area and determining a bypass route from the nodes from which the node has been excluded, based on a node demand, namely a total value of a demand for which each node serves as a start or end point of the demand, by referencing the databases.
