Abstract:
A device receives, from a customer device, a request for a diversity determination associated with a first route provided in a first provider network and a second route provided in a second provider network. The request includes a first identifier associated with the first route and a second identifier associated with the second route. The device forwards the first identifier to a first provider device, and receives, based on the first identifier, first geospatial information associated with the first route. The device forwards the second identifier to a second provider device associated, and receives, based on the second identifier, second geospatial information associated with the second route. The device determines whether the first and second routes are diverse based on the first geospatial information and the second geospatial information, and provides, to the customer device, diversity information regarding whether the first and second routes are diverse.
