Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
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.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 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, wh…
