Abstract
Provided is a monitoring apparatus capable of efficiently optimizing the transmission efficiency of an entire network. The monitoring apparatus () includes a variable parameter changing unit (), a monitoring information acquisition unit (), and an estimation unit (). The variable parameter changing unit () changes a variable parameter for at least one of multiple network apparatuses that constitute an optical communication network transmitting an optical signal by wavelength division multiplexing. The monitoring information acquisition unit () acquires monitoring information related to a state of optical communication from at least one of the multiple network apparatuses. The estimation unit () estimates at least one penalty for a receiving side, using the monitoring information.
