To rapidly provide APN (All-Photonics Network) services, an effective approach involves pre-configuring optical paths and holding them as "inventory paths" before a customer request is received; when a request arises, multiple inventory paths can be combined to configure the required communication route. This method eliminates the need for route design and resource allocation after the request is made. In this context, we define "supportability"—an indicator representing the importance of an optical path—and propose an optical path allocation method that preserves critical inventory paths while allocating others.
