Service label routing n a network

A telecommunications network, comprising:

• a service edge device in communication with a customer device to receive a request from the customer device to add a telecommunication service for a customer;
• at least one or more metro edge devices in communication with the service edge device;
• and
• a network management computing device comprising a processor configured to:
• instantiate the telecommunication service on the service edge device and the at least one or more metro edge devices, wherein instantiating the telecommunication service comprises associating a unique service label identifier to the requested telecommunication service;
• and
• configure the service edge device and the at least one or more metro edge devices to route information associated with the telecommunication service;
• wherein the service edge device and the at least one or more metro edge devices route at least one data packet associated with the telecommunication service on the telecommunications network to the customer based at least the unique service label identifier associated with the data packet.

A system for managing a telecommunications network, the system comprising:

• a processing device;
• and
• a computer-readable medium with one or more executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the processing device executes the one or more instructions to perform the operations of:
• receiving a request from a customer device to add a telecommunication service for a customer;
• instantiating the telecommunication service on the telecommunications network, wherein instantiating the telecommunication service comprises associating a unique service label identifier to the requested telecommunication service;
• configuring two or more network components to route information associated with the telecommunication service;
• and
• routing at least one data packet associated with the telecommunication service on the telecommunications network to the customer based at least the unique service label identifier associated with the data packet.
