Claim 8:
9. A communications system comprising:
a plurality of network devices located in one or more network domains; and
a path determining device coupled to the network devices and configured to:
determine a network connection path that passes through m reference network devices in the network devices, wherein m≥1, and wherein the m reference network devices are located in a first network domain and are coupled to a device outside the first network domain;
determine a device configuration requirement of a first network connection service for each of n reference network devices in the m reference network devices, wherein m≥n≥1;
determine whether a device configuration of each of the n reference network devices meets the device configuration requirement, wherein the device configuration comprises a quality of service (QoS) configuration, a virtual local area network (VLAN) address, a communication protocol, or a device protection configuration; and
determine that the network connection path is a path of the first network connection service when the device configuration of each of the n reference network devices meets the device configuration requirement.
