Abstract

A method includes collecting route parameters from a first intermediate node and a second intermediate node that can be configured to communicatively couple a source node to the destination node, determining at least a first route through the first intermediate node and a second route through the second intermediate node, and determining which route among the first route and the second route is optimal according to one or more criteria.

Claims (4)

presenting originating point codes for each Signal transfer Point (STP) in a selected STP pair;

presenting destination point codes associated with each of the STPs, wherein the destination point codes are Common Language Location Identifier (CLLI) codes; and

presenting a provisioning indicator for the STP pair, wherein the provisioning indicator indicates whether any destination point codes are the same for the STP pair.
