We numerically investigate the relevance of criteria such as the nonlinear phase or the inline cumulated dispersion to assess the tolerance to nonlinearities of highly dispersive optical transmission systems. For such systems, we propose and validate new rules to predict the performance of systems with different residual dispersion per span or number of spans.
