Abstract:
1. A method to determine connectivity of an eNodeB and a provider edge router, comprising: based on a first Internet protocol address from a configuration of an integrated access device, determining, with a processor, a virtual circuit communicatively coupling the integrated access device and a first mobile service node serving the eNodeB; filtering a set of mobile service nodes based on a second Internet protocol address of the virtual circuit, the set of mobile service nodes including the first mobile service node; when a plurality of the mobile service nodes in the set are identified from the filtering, comparing, with the processor, a first common language location identifier code of the integrated access device to respective common language location identifier codes of the plurality of the mobile service nodes to identify a connection between the integrated access device and the first mobile service node; identifying, with the processor, the provider edge router serving the eNodeB via the integrated access device and the first mobile service node; identifying, with the processor, a set of intermediate nodes forming a pathway between the integrated access device and the first mobile service node; and storing information representative of the pathway including identifiers of the eNodeB and the provider edge router.
