A method for determining optimal locations and values of dispersion compensating modules (DCMs) in an optical network is provided. The method comprises repeatedly evaluating possible combinations of DCM values and locations and adding to the combination having the lowest score until a solution of DCMs is formed that satisfies the dispersion limits of the network. This method provides an optimal solution with, for example, the lowest value of DCMs necessary to meet dispersion specifications. In one embodiment, the method for determining the optimal location and value of the DCMs uses a priority queue to store the different combinations of DCM values and locations. Modifications to the method include variations in the score function, for example to minimize the total cost of the DCMs. In another embodiment, a series of priority queues are used to improve the efficiency of the method by reducing the amount of processing required to sort the priority queues.
