发明名称 Method and apparatus for providing local loop information
摘要 A method and apparatus for providing local loop information in a network are disclosed. For example, the method receives a request for local loop information pertaining to a transmission channel, and determines if the transmission channel has one or more local loops. The method retrieves data associated with the one or more local loops if the transmission channel has one or more local loops, and analyzes the data associated with the one or more local loops to determine at least one facility type that supports the transmission channel.

主权项 1. A method for providing local loop information in a network, comprising: receiving, by a processor, a request for the local loop information pertaining to a transmission channel, wherein the transmission channel comprises a digital signaling level 1 channel; determining, by the processor, whether the transmission channel has a local loop; retrieving, by the processor, data associated with the local loop when the transmission channel has the local loop, wherein the local loop has a number of spans; analyzing, by the processor, the data associated with each span of the local loop to determine a facility type that supports the transmission channel, wherein the facility type is determined from among a group comprising of: a copper-based facility type, a fiber optic-based facility type and a hybrid-based facility type, wherein the hybrid-based facility type represents a facility that comprises a first span that employs a copper-based facility and a second span that employs a fiber optic-based facility; and providing, by the processor, a response to the request, the response including the facility type that is determined.
