1. A method for allocating network resources to one or more signals that are to be conveyed over the network, comprising:
calculating a transport capacity for a sublink of the network based on a spectral efficiency of at least one subpath included in the sublink, the sublink corresponding to a communicative coupling between a first endpoint of the network and a second endpoint of the network, and the subpath corresponding to a portion of the communicative coupling; and
allocating the sublink to at least one signal based on the calculated transport capacity,
wherein the step of calculating comprises calculating a range of transport capacities for the sublink of the network based on a spectral efficiency of at least one subpath included in the sublink, and wherein the step of allocating comprises allocating the sublink to the at least one signal based on the calculated range of transport capacities.
