Network diversity resolution system

A network device comprising:

• a processor, an input/output device coupled to the processor, and a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
• upon receiving a diversity issue for a path between at least two end points, via the input/output device, obtaining possible path information including at least two representative paths;
• assigning a score to the at least two representative paths;
• identifying a solution based on the score.

A method comprising:

• instantiating a diversity assessment tool, the diversity assessment tool including a path finding module virtual network function and a sampling module virtual network function that communicate with an input/output device and a memory;
• obtaining path information from an electronic data warehouse;
• the path finding module identifying at least two representative paths between a selected first end point and a second end point, wherein the at least two representative paths meets at least a capacity requirement between the first end point and the second end point;
• and
• the sampling module generating at least one circuit reassignment plan based on the at least two representative paths, wherein the generating step includes assigning a score for each of the at least one circuit reassignment plan, wherein the score is based on at least one of a machine preference, path length, and number of changes to implement the at least one circuit reassignment plan, wherein the at least one circuit reassignment plan incorporates at least one representative path having a highest score.
