A design method includes calculating a calculated compensation amount of a dispersion compensation module arranged on each of a plurality of wavelength paths in such a way that a residual chromatic dispersion value of each of the wavelength paths which transmits an optical signal between an initial node and a final node satisfies a tolerance condition given in accordance with a priority given to each of the wavelength paths; and deciding a decision value to be applied as the compensation amount of the dispersion compensation module based on the calculated compensation amount based on a plurality of candidate values each being prepared in advance as the candidate for the compensation amount of the dispersion compensation module. |
