ABSTRACT:
A method for finding or routing a ring containing predetermined ring offices of a communications network while minimizing costs of communications channels used to route the ring. The ring may be a self-healing ring, the communications channels may be optical communications channels, the costs may be fiber transport costs and the network may be a SONET network.
