ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided for designing ring cover candidates for a network. A ring cover candidate is generated based on configuration information and traffic demand information associated with the network. The ring cover candidate includes a group of rings, where each ring includes a group of network spans. In some implementations consistent with the principles of the invention, a report including characteristics of a ring cover candidate may be generated.
