Abstract

Method, system and computer-readable medium for handling a dig ticket to mitigate physical cable damage are disclosed. In accordance with the method, a network alarm indicating a logical circuit is received. The logical circuit is mapped to at least one physical cable segment associated with the logical circuit. One or more other physical cable segments diversity of which is affected by the at least one physical cable segment are determined.
