Abstract

An approach provides micro-facilities for network recovery. An outage condition is detected, and is associated with one of a plurality of service provider facilities forming a service provider network. A router of the service provider network is determined to be capable of reaching the one service provider facility, wherein the provider router is resident within a customer facility. Bandwidth is allocated to one or more links for re-directing traffic over the provider router to the one service provider facility.
