Abstract
An object of the present disclosure is to propose a technique to enumerate intermediate configurations at high speeds. A configuration enumeration deviceaccording to the present disclosure enumerates a network configuration in an input layer, an intermediate layer, and an output layerthat minimizes the number of mechanical patch panels provided in mechanical patch panels, by using α-quasi-nonblocking configurations, where α being 0 indicates a rearrangeably nonblocking configuration and α being 1 indicates a strictly nonblocking configuration, for 0≤α≤1, when a minimum value C of wiring capacity of mechanical patch panels having the input layer, the intermediate layer, and the output layeris obtained.
