PATH SEARCH PROGRAM, PATH SEARCH APPARATUS AND PATH SEARCH METHOD
First Claim
1. A computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a process comprising:
- accepting a start node and finish node that are both terminuses for a circuit that is to be accommodated in a transmission network that includes a plurality of transmission lines;
selecting, from the plurality of transmission lines, a transmission line whose arrangement order of arranging a plurality of nodes on the transmission line in an order of an indicated direction determined for the transmission line is the same as an order of the plurality of nodes determined in accordance with a cost order of the shortest path from a node at a terminus of the circuit to the plurality of nodes; and
searching for a path from the circuit'"'"'s start node to the circuit'"'"'s finish node via the selected transmission line in the order of the indicated direction.

11. A computer-implemented method of searching a path, the method comprising:
-
accepting input a start node and a finish node that are both ends of a circuit that is to be accommodated in a transmission network that includes a plurality of transmission lines; selecting, by a processor, from the plurality of transmission lines, a transmission line whose arrangement order of arranging a plurality of nodes on the transmission line in an order of an indicated direction determined for the transmission line is the same as an order of the plurality of nodes determined in accordance with a cost order of a shortest path from a node at an end of the circuit to the plurality of nodes; and searching, by a processor, a path from the circuit'"'"'s start node to the circuit'"'"'s finish node via the selected transmission line in the order of the indicated direction.
