            Abstract : 
We present for the first time “the stair function”, a characteristic function corresponding to a routing and grooming (RG) algorithm and a topology. It allows to estimate the results of network planning over a vast scope of traffic matrixes, to evaluate in detail and to compare RG algorithms independently from a traffic scenario.
