The invention provides a new cost-effective and efficient framework for network management of telecommunications networks by monitoring the network-level concepts of routes and paths. The invention is embodied in a route and path management (RPM) system which includes a data collector for collecting data from the individual network elements, a management server for processing the routing data collected into manageable route and path objects and a graphical unit interface (GUI) for allowing a user to manage and monitor routes and paths in the IP network. By monitoring routes and paths, the RPM provides network managers with the added capability of troubleshooting, performance monitoring, service level planning and provisioning packet forwarding paths between any source-destination endpoints in a network.
