A method of connecting a telecommunications network, in which the network is formed of plural nodes connected by plural spans. Each node has a nodal switching device for making connections between adjacent spans meeting at the node. Method steps A- F are followed. A) Select a set of candidate rings, each candidate ring being formed of nodes connected by spans, the candidate rings each being capable of serving a number of demands and having a ring construction cost C. B) Assess the total transport utility U of each candidate ring, wherein the total transport utility is a measure of at least the number of demands served by the respective candidate ring. C) Assess the construction cost of each candidate ring. D) Calculate a ratio formed of U/C for each candidate ring. E) Choose, from the set of candidate rings, a best set of candidate rings, wherein candidate rings in the best set of candidate rings have a higher ratio of U/C than candidate rings not in the best set. F) Forming rings in the network that are selected from the best set of candidate siimple rings.
