Abstract

A system for analyzing communication paths in a telecommunications network includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores network data relating to a plurality of circuits in a telecommunications network. The processors, coupled to the memory, receives target circuit information specifying two telecommunication locations and a rate code. The processor identifies one or more circuits associated with a defined boundary area and identifies one or more communication paths between the specified telecommunication locations. Each communication path includes one or more of the identified circuits that communicate information according to the rate code.
