Abstract

Provided is a method and system for rehome optimization of a telecommunications network. Optimal network configurations are determined according to automatically derived attributes associated with granulations of elements in the network called rehome circuit groups (RCGs). RCGs are automatically derived from the telecommunications network. RCGs are definable as a rehoming set of one or more circuits in the network. Optimal network configurations satisfy specified constraints and are calculated in accordance with cost objectives. Constraints include rehoming RCGs on criteria of having a relationship with other RCGs in the network and how to treat certain RCGs in the rehome process.
