Abstract

An approach is provided for determining alternative paths. Information is stored specifying a set of available paths among network elements within a connection-oriented network. The available paths are sorted according to a predetermined criterion. The sorted paths are selectively filtered based on either a particular one of the network elements, a region associated with one or more of the network elements, or a combination thereof.
