Abstract
Systems and methods for computing paths through a network are provided. A method, according to one implementation, includes the step of receiving information regarding a path through a network from a source node via one or more intermediate nodes to a destination node, whereby the path is loosely defined by a user as a partially-completed route through the network using one or more network resources. The method also includes the step of utilizing the information regarding the path to automatically compute a completed home route from the source node to the destination node while attempting to retain as many of the one or more intermediate nodes of the path as possible.
